When did this start happenning? Did somebody go fiddling with lalai
without asking me? I definitely set up that repository with the correct
permissions. Let's see...
[telnet...login...fiddle]
The permissions are correct, and Apache is running as the right user.
[fiddle some more]
I can check out both locally and over DAV.
*However*, there is no /repository URL on lalai. Did you mean
http://lalai.hemes.si/repos/pa-cad
? If so, I suggest you read the working instructions again.

Thanks for suggesting that, Karl. Now they'll start bugging me about an
upgrade again. :-(

No, but you might want to upgrade to 0.23 and try again. 0.21 is a
bit old now... :-)
Btw, your mail had one extra level of quoting (">" signs), I don't
know why.

I've noticed a real common pattern here. Whenever httpd has a problem
opening the berkeley environment (because of a permissions problem),
the user always sees a "PROPFIND on /: 405 Not Allowed" error from the
svn client. It isn't until one looks at the apache errorlog that one
sees the "true" libsvn_fs permission error.
This has something to do with the way ra_dav works: if the initial
PROPFIND on the "deep" path fails, it tries chopping off a component,
and tries again. Eventually it tries a doing a propfind on '/', and
when that fails, throws the error to the user.
I don't understand this behavior, and I don't like it either. If
mod_dav_svn generated a real fs error ("can't open berkeley db"), is
this error being marshalled across the network? If not, why not? If
so, why isn't ra_dav throwing it to the user immediately?
I'm tired of such a common problem producing a cryptic error message.

What does your apache's error log say?
I guess that you have a permission problem.
