I ran into a similar problem recently while testing our new
Subversion server (getting ever closer to eliminating CVS from our
projects! :)
Basically, I had erroneously put my Subversion repositories in
the same directory tree (in this case, .../svn.easysw.com/public/newsd)
as the rest of the server's non-SVN content. After re-reading the
Subversion book's coverage of Apache configuration, I found the
paragraph that said something along the lines of "don't put your
subversion repositories in the document root or Apache will get
confused". I moved the repo to a separate directory, updated the
paths in the Apache config files, and the PROPFIND error went away.
Sooo, make sure that your Subversion repository is not in a
subdirectory of your Apache web site directory. The organization
I will be using is:
.../svn.easysw.com
/html -> Apache document root
/svn -> Subversion repositories
