Let's keep the discussion on the mailing list. Use the "Reply To All"
feature of your email program when replying to messages. I don't use
Windows so I may not be best-equipped to answer your questions.
Others on the list may have input as well.
Read the big yellow box on the download page:
http://subversion.tigris.org/project_packages.html#windows
"Note that the Apache modules included in this package was compiled
against Apache HTTP Server 2.0, and thus will not work with Apache
HTTP Server 2.2."
You cannot use the provided Windows binaries for Subversion if you
want to use Subversion with Apache 2.2. You will need to build
Subversion yourself. However, because I don't use Windows, I don't
know how to do that.
Someone else may already have compiled a Windows binary for
Subversion with Apache 2.2 / APR 1.2 support. Perhaps such a person
will see this message and reply to it. Or you could search the
mailing list archives to see if this has come up before.
