Help with svn and WebDAV?

Hi all,

Is this the right place to ask for help with implementation problems?
If not, can someone point me to the right place?

I'm using Debian unstable, and have the following packages installed:

    ii subversion 0.14.3-1 Advanced version control system - in develop
    ii libapache2-dav 0.14.3-1 Apache module for Subversion - in developmen
    ii libsvn0 0.14.3-1 Subversion shared libraries - in development
    ii apache2-common 2.0.42-2 Next generation, scalable, extendable web se
    ii apache2-mpm-pr 2.0.42-2 Traditional model for Apache2

I have apache2 up and running and can connect to it.

I created a subversion repository:

        mkdir /spare/svn
        svnadmin create /spare/svn/linux-2.4.19

And then imported the 2.4.19 kernel tree into it:

        svn import file:///spare/svn/linux-2.4.19/ /usr/src/linux \
          -m "imported 2.4.19 tree into svn"

I added the following to my /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default file:

        <Location /svn>
           DAV svn
           SVNParentPath /spare/svn
        </Location>

according to the directions on page 49 of "The Subversion Handbook".

Yet, when I try to connect to what I think should be the correct URL
(http://subversion-svr/svn), I get an "Access Forbidden"
error in my browser, and the error.log says:

[Thu Oct 03 11:05:23 2002] [error] [client 128.221.30.88] Could not fetch resource information. [403, #0]
[Thu Oct 03 11:05:23 2002] [error] [client 128.221.30.88] (2)No such file or directory: The URI does not contain the name of a repository. [403, #190001]

Using the URL, http://subversion-svr/svn/linux-2.4.19/, I get the
error:

Berkeley DB error while opening environment for filesystem /spare/svn/linux-2.4.19/db:
Permission denied

in my browser, and the same thing in error.log.

I'm completely new to Subversion *and* DAV, so I'm hoping someone can
point me in the right direction :)

Thanks,
