SVN Filesystem error when trying to remotely connect to apache/svn/fedora2 setup

Hi,

I'm new to SVN so I apologise for the base query.  I've installed SVN on our
Fedora Core 2 Linux box and am now trying to access it remotely from an XP
machine running TortoiseSVN.

I've added the 2 lines in a <Location etc> section and the LoadModule
directive for mod-dav_svn.so in the http.conf file.  Yet when I try to
access the repository, I get a "* PROPFIND request failed. Could not open
the requested SVN filesystem " error.  Any help?

RPM's installed are:

db4-4.2.52-3.1
subversion-1.1.0-0_10.rhfc2.at
mod_dav_svn-1.1.0-0_10.rhfc2.at
httpd-2.0.50-2.1

The rpm's came from

http://atrpms.net/dist/fc2/

Thanks in advance,

Stefano Capaccio

Apache runs as root?

You might wanna look into that first.

Yup.  All ownerships appear to be correct, they are not ideal at the moment
(taking over from someone else), but they are all set to root:root.  I don;t
think we have an 'apache' specific user on the system.

Is the ownership correct (e.g. apache:apache)?

Thanks.

Tried that.  Nothing, still same error.

Is there a way I can just check to see if the installation is set up right
remotely?  At the moment it fails whether I have authentication or not.

You need more than these two lines, something like
       <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
          ...
       </LimitExcept>

Check out /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf, and either copy the
directives from there, or uncomment them.

You need more than these two lines, something like
