Re: Portability of mod_dav_svn.so under Linux?

Hi Troy,

Thanks for pointing the meaning of error message to me.

I installed mod_dav_svn after both Apache and Subversion got installed
and I can see libsvn_repos under lib directory of Subversion. But I
didn't put Subversion to standard location, how to "tell" mod_dav_svn
where to find libsvn_repos?

Another problem is, even if I copied the whole installation directory
of a working Apache and Subversion to a new machine, I still received
the same error message.

Thanks,
