Commit Error-Can't close activity db: Internal Error REDUX

[Anthony Talo <at...@biggs-gilmore.com>]

My bad - I neglected to include the apache log information:
My Problem again:
I have svn 1.3.2 (no BDB) running on an xserve (10.4.7) with Apache  
2.2.3 (+SSL, +LDAP). I can check out a repository, update it, but  
when I try to commit, I get the following error:

"svn-commit.2.tmp" 4L, 48210C written
isvn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Can't close activity db: Internal error
svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn:    '/mypath/svn-commit.2.tmp'

My guess is that it is a permissions error but I haven't tracked it  
down. The BDB is installed (4.4.20 for OpenLDAP) but not used for  
svn. I've searched but not found the specific error I'm receiving, so  
I'm thinking (hoping) it must be a simple fix. Help with this would  
be very appreciated!

So, mod_dav_svn uses this auxiliary database called the 'activity db'.
 It's a little dbm file inside the repository in the dav subdirectory
on disk.  It appears that the dbm file is corrupted.  Fortunately, no
long-lived data is stored there, so you should be able to shut down
your server, delete that dbm file, and restart it and everything
should work again.
