Problem connecting to repository on new install

I'm new to Subversion and Linux, and I hope this not a stupid question. I've been using PVCS Version Manager on Windows, so this could be due to my lack of Subversion knowledge or some Linux/Apache setting.

I have followed the Subversion Book instructions for creating a repository and populating it with a tree of files. When I try to access it, this is the problem I run into. I am listing the results in Mozilla Firebird, IE6, TortoiseSVN, and from the shell.

url viewed from client in Mozilla Firebird:
<D:error>
<C:error/>
<m:human-readable errcode="160029">
Could not open the requested SVN filesystem
</m:human-readable>
</D:error>

url viewed from client in IE6:
HTTP 500 Internal server error

URL viewed from client in TortoiseSVN:
svn: PROPFIND request faild on '/svn/repos'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/repos': 500 Internal Server Error (http://10.0.1.55)

checkout called from the server shell:
# svn checkout http:/10.0.1.55/svn/repos
Authentication realm: <http://10.0.1.55:80> Subversion repositories
password for 'root': (pls note: I've tried this in non-root acct. also)
