ok,  
I know how to create a Virtual Server with Apache  
I know how to create a file:// repository and import and update code.

But my next step is to get Subversion working with Apache so that I can  
access my repository through http:// in order to get Capistrano to do  
its next step.

thanx,  
mike

You may get a better response out of the svn usenet group, just fyi.

[Subversion Users: SVN Apache/WebDAV Windows Setup Quick Reference](http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2005-05/0741.shtml) (step 1 may be  
different for you).

OK, when I had Apache 2.0.59 installed this is how I got my SVN server  
setup and going:

\<VirtualHost \*:80\>  
  
DAV svn  
SVNPath /home/mike/repos  
  
ServerName [svn.host.com](http://svn.host.com)  
DocumentRoot /home/mike/www/svn/htdocs

and of course I had these two lines:  
LoadModule dav\_svn\_module modules/mod\_dav\_svn.so  
LoadModule authz\_svn\_module modules/mod\_authz\_svn.so

Now, I upgraded to Apache 2.2.4 and I get a blank page when I point my  
browser to my SVN server at [svn.host.com](http://svn.host.com). The other odd thing is that  
all my other Virtual Server pages are blank as well. But when I remove  
the second line above:  
#LoadModule authz\_svn\_module modules/mod\_authz\_svn.so  
then all my Virtual Server pages reappear. Except of course for  
[svn.host.com](http://svn.host.com)

I looked inside my Apache error log and this is what I get every time I  
try to access [svn.host.com](http://svn.host.com)
