RE: help: using http: returns 'Could not open the requested SVN filesystem'

I found the problem.

I did 'svn create /usr/local/svn_repository' and specified 'SVNParentPath
/usr/local/svn_repository'

This is wrong. SVNParentPath doesn't specify a repository, but rather a
directory containing repositories.

So I deleted the repository files in /usr/local/svn_repository

Created an appropriate repository "svn create
/usr/local/svn_repository/myproject"

Then 'svn checkout http://www.planefast.com/svn/myproject/trunk myproject'
works.

filesystem'

Hi, I'm having trouble using http checkout. Using file: works great, but
when I try http:, it returns an error. The relevant info is below, I think.
I think it's permissions or apache set up, or using 'nobody' to run Apache,
but I'm not sure.

Please let me know if there's anything else I need to provide.

Thanks,

Jack
