When trying to connect to a new subversion repository over apache 2.0 using subversion 1.4.5. Error number:165005

Looked at the error log for apache, and saw this:

[Wed Feb 20 14:00:15 2008] [error] [client 192.168.xxx] (20014)Error string not specified yet: Expected format '3' of repository; found format '5'
[Wed Feb 20 14:00:15 2008] [error] [client 192.168.xxx] Could not fetch resource information.  [500, #0]
[Wed Feb 20 14:00:15 2008] [error] [client 192.168.xxx] Could not open the requested SVN filesystem  [500, #165005]

and then found where the subversion modules lived in httpd.conf:

LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so

stopped apache, copied the two .so files from \subversion\bin to \apache2\modules and restarted Apache.

then holla'd w00t! XD

Getting an SVN server up-and-running is one of the dirt-simplest things I've ever done on a computer. However...getting HTTP networking going using Apache is a WHOLE other story. Having done it about 20 times now, I think I'm starting to get the hang of it, remembering more and more of the "gotchas" each and every time.

Glad to see you got it working. ;)
