Re: Can't access repo using http:// or svn://

It DOES reach the server. As I mentioned in my previous posts, Apache
is running and is accessible. I can see the test page from htdocs in
the browser, using both localhost and the external IP (using another
machine).

I misunderstood that svn:// part, I was under the impression that it
can be used in addition to the http protocol. Now that you pointed
that out, it makes sense, since Apache is a web server used primarily
for http/ftp.

"if the apache test page shows up on the svn folder"

I am not sure what you mean exactly by that. The only apache test page
that I know of is the one that is in Apache's htdocs folder, which
contains web content only (no SVN stuff here). Can you explain please.

"put the svn block below the root but *not* below htdocs"

I placed that Location block (copy/pasted directly from documentation)
at the VERY end of Apache's config file as instructed. It is not
inside any other block.
