RE: "can't get exclusive lock" error when attempting commit

The funny thing is the machine is already running Apache, as well as the
svnserve service ;) I followed this guide:
http://www.ivantodorov.com/blog/?p=28
Are there specific steps to hook svnsever + Apache together?

The path to the network drive is //newdev/SVN, so naturally I assumed it
would work like so: svn://newdev/SVN. No such luck, however. I suppose I
should ask our IT guy... which in itself is a bad idea, mainly the reason
I'm doing this and he's not haha. I had asked him about looking into SVN and
his response was basically "open source software sucks". Nice.

Thanks for you help!
