Yes, that was it. I'm not sure what the preferred way to do it is, but I
did a 'chown -R www-data.www-data svn' on the repository and that cleared
it right up.

Is this on a FAQ somewhere that I missed? It might be nice to have a
question like "I set up a repository, and now I can check it out via
file:/// but not http://"

Answer:

1) Check which Berkeley DB is installed on your system. Some
distributions ship multiple versions. Yours should be >= 4.0. If any
binaries needed by Subversion are linked against the wrong library
version, you'll need to recompile those binaries against the proper
version.

2) Are you using the correct URL? If you've configured apache with
<Location /repos/myrepo>
then your URL will be http://localhost/repos/myrepo

3) Does your repository have the right permissions? For networked
access, the www-data user must be able to read and write the repository
files. <<include preferred method here>>

4) Do the directories leading up to your repository have the right
permissions? Every directory along the path to the repository should be at
least world-executable.

5) Are you running apache 2? Some distributions ship apache 1.x, which is
not supported by Subversion. Reconfigure your system to use apache 2.

Did I miss anything?

Thanks for the help,
Zack
