Using Tortoise 1.4.5, Subversion 1.4.5 and Apache 2.2.6
Following the links in the current documentation:
for Apache you see that Apache 2.2.x is recommended.
for Subversion it takes you to the trunk hosting 1.4.5 built against 2.0.x,
NOT 2.2.x. There is a small note at the top of it that those binaries do
not support 2.2.x and to go to a different folder, but I, and I suppose a
few others, missed that note.
The result is that you get an error when trying to restart, and you have to
search the web to figure it out and then download and copy the correct
binaries. After that, all works well. But I'm a noob to this so it took me a
bit to figure out. And maybe this is mentioned somewhere but if so I missed
it.
I do understand that at some point this won't be an issue, and I also
understand that you're responsible for TortiseSVN, not Apache or Subversion,
but I have found your documentation to be very straightforward so I was
using it to set up the server. So maybe a warning/note in there or on your
website will prevent others from making the same mistake i did?
Here's the actual links in your docs:

*http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=91*<http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=91>
The help I found online is here:

The folder for the correct build is here:
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=8100
And the file to download (Subversion 1.4.5 Win32 binaries for Apache 2.2.x.)
is here:
