Unable to get subversion 1.4 to work

[Joe Auty]

Hello,

I would probably first try to get Subversion working via svn+ssh (svn 
+ssh://), or simply accessing the local respository (file://). Once  
you have this working, I'd then try adding the WebDAV functionality  
on top, if this is what you desire. If this is just going to be a  
personal workstation of yours, I would probably just skip WebDAV  
entirely and go with svn+ssh for simplicity and security.
