Problem connecting to DAV based SVN with SVN client
I try to setup SVN server using Apache 2.0.49 and got into some trouble. I
followed strictly installation guidelines and now my server is running
fine, I can access repository with various web browsers but not with SVN
client.
D:\UserData\Projects>svn checkout http://cpqenl866_200/svn/seitemeister
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/seitemeister'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/seitemeister': timed out waiting for server
(http://cpqenl866_200)
Server machine is Windows 2000 SP4, Apache 2.0.49 with basic
authentication, Subversion 1.0.2
Where should I start investigating this problem?

I've recently had a quasi-related problem, and perhaps the two
problems can shed light on each other (unless, as the timeout above
suggests, you have a more fundamental networking problem). I set up
DAV access to a new and empty repository; the top of the repository
was made available at /whatever/ and "DAV svn" and the rest was
declared for that Location. I then tried to import projects as
suggested in the manual like so:
svn import . http://myhostname/whatever/
I then got an error like "PROPFIND request failed on /whatever".
Of course, DAV isn't on in /.
I got around this by doing a file:// import, but what did I do
wrong/sub-optimally, if anything? Is this a common newbie gotcha? It
sure felt like one when I was getting gotten :).
Cheers,

Huh? He *is* using http:// in his 'svn checkout' command.
If you can browse the repository using an ordinary web browser (which
sends GET requests), but can't do a PROPFIND to the server, it's
possible that you have a web proxy blocking webdav methods. See the FAQ
about that.

If i read the Manual right, you need a svnserve.exe process on your
Server, if you want to use the svn commandline client. Just start an
instance of svnserve.exe (with -d parameter for deamon mode) on the
Repository-Server. You need this server is for "direct" access (or with
TortoiseSVN). Apache is only for WebDAV Clients.
In the SVN-Book its covered in detail (access permissions ans so on..)
