Subject: Problem with setting up new Subversion server.

I am currently receiving the following error when I attempt to access a newly created Subversion server:

svn: E175002: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://blackstone/fullcourtweb'
svn: E175002: The OPTIONS request returned invalid XML in the response: XML parse error at line 1: Extra content at the end of the document

The Subversion client seems to be working on this machine as I am able to access the old Subversion server, but I cannot access the new server which is located on the same machine. I would greatly appreciate any help on this issue.

Thank you,
David

More information as requested:

Our current SVN server is Linux system that is almost 10 years old and I am attempting to migrate to a new server. The new server is virtual Linux machine on a cluster. The repository was dumped from the old machine using the svnadmin dump command and loaded on the new machine using the svnadmin load command.

I have noticed while collecting this information that the Cyrus component is missing from the new machine (see in bold below). I am not sure however if that has any effect on the error I am receiving.

SVN version on the old machine:
