What do you mean, it's not accepting http URLs? What error message do
you get?

There are two possible problems:

1) Your server does not speak http, therefore no clients can access
it over that protocol.

2) Your client does not speak http, therefore your client cannot
access any http Subversion server.

To fix 1), set up Apache 2 with mod_dav_svn as Matt said. This is
described in depth in the book at http://svnbook.org/

To fix 2), build your client with the neon library. If you don't have
it already, it's provided in the subversion-deps archive.

Shameless plug: An easy way to install Subversion on Mac OS X, by the
way, is to use MacPorts. After you have the core MacPorts system
installed, all you have to do to get the Subversion client is type
"sudo port selfupdate" and then "sudo port install subversion" in the
terminal. If you want to run an Apache 2 server with mod_dav_svn, you
can instead "sudo port install subversion +mod_dav_svn". All
dependencies get automatically downloaded and installed for you.
