Problem accessing repository over HTTP

Hey all

Got a problem with accessing the repository over HTTP. Here's the
Apacahe Location setting:

<Location /devrepos>
   DAV svn
   SVNPath /app/svn/devrepos
</Location>

Here's the failure (Apache 2's listening on port 2000):

[jfilby@Linux02 test]$ svn ls http://localhost:2000/devrepos
svn: Bad URL passed to RA layer
svn: No part of path '/devrepos' was found in repository HEAD.

What am I doing wrong? Also, what does it mean by "repository HEAD"?

Thanks
Jason

HEAD means, "the latest revision in the repository."

Unfortunately, that error message is vague, and is printed for any
number of random reasons.

What does your apache2/log/error_log say?

This often happens when mod_dav_svn is unable to find or open the
repository, often because the httpd process has no permissions to do
so.
