Maybe you didn't restart Apache after some configuration change
(restarted the server this morning? :-)
That's what I usually do... well, once in a while *g*

Yes, Subversion is great :-)
Apache gave me a hard time... not the "basics", but setting up SSL with
client certificates and pulling the username from the certificate was
quite a problem... (and there were bugs in both mod_ssl and Subversion).
And I'm still not sure if my WebSVN setup is "waterproof" *sigh* - but
that's not the Subversion team, of course. Have I mentioned that
Subversion is great?! :-))
