Never mind. I had the source and destination URLs transposed. Oh well,
at least this thread will be recorded for posterity in case anyone else
is ever this stupid. :)

> Hi all,

> we just got a nice new Linux box to replace our aging Windows
> Subversion server. The Windows server is on version 1.4.2 (I
> think). This is what I have done so far on the Linux side:
>
> - installed Subversion 1.5.6
> - set up svnserve with some init scripts I found on the 'net
> - created an empty repository
> - created hook scripts for pre-revprop-change and
> start-commit per the red bean book
> - copied our svnserve.conf and passwd file from the windows machine
> - added my 'svnsync' user to both machines
> - set the uuid on the new repository to be the same as the old one
>
> However, when I go to initialise the new repository, I get
> the following
>
> [svn@luke ~]$ svnsync initialize http://w2kmews03
> svn://localhost --sync-username svnsync --sync-password svnsync
> svnsync: Server sent unexpected return value (405 Method Not
> Allowed) in response to PROPFIND request for '/'
> [svn_at_luke ~]$

> Searching the net for this error finds me a bunch of cases
> where the user had omitted something in their apache
> configuration, but in this instance, only svnserve is
> involved. Any ideas? I'm including the most obvious
> diagnostics below. The permissions on the repository are all

> ### This file controls the configuration of the svnserve
> daemon, if you ### use it to allow access to this repository.
> (If you only allow ### access through http: and/or file:
> URLs, then this file is ### irrelevant.)
>
> ### Visit http://subversion.tigris.org/ for more information.
>
> [general]
> ### These options control access to the repository for
> unauthenticated ### and authenticated users. Valid values
> are "write", "read", ### and "none". The sample settings
> below are the defaults.
> anon-access = read
> auth-access = write
> ### The password-db option controls the location of the
> password ### database file. Unless you specify a path
> starting with a /, ### the file's location is relative to the
> directory containing ### this configuration file.
> ### If SASL is enabled (see below), this file will NOT be used.
> ### Uncomment the line below to use the default password file.
> password-db = passwd
> ### The authz-db option controls the location of the
> authorization ### rules for path-based access control.
> Unless you specify a path ### starting with a /, the file's
> location is relative to the the ### directory containing this
> file. If you don't specify an ### authz-db, no path-based
> access control is done.
> ### Uncomment the line below to use the default authorization file.
> # authz-db = authz
> ### This option specifies the authentication realm of the repository.
> ### If two repositories have the same authentication realm,
> they should ### have the same password database, and vice
> versa. The default realm ### is repository's uuid.
> realm = Omniphone
>
> [sasl]
> ### This option specifies whether you want to use the Cyrus
> SASL ### library for authentication. Default is false.
> ### This section will be ignored if svnserve is not built
> with Cyrus ### SASL support; to check, run 'svnserve
> --version' and look for a line ### reading 'Cyrus SASL
> authentication is available.'
> # use-sasl = true
> ### These options specify the desired strength of the
> security layer ### that you want SASL to provide. 0 means no
> encryption, 1 means ### integrity-checking only, values
> larger than 1 are correlated ### to the effective key length
> for encryption (e.g. 128 means 128-bit ### encryption). The
> values below are the defaults.
> # min-encryption = 0
> # max-encryption = 256
