Apache + Subeversion = ?

I have a problem to correctly configure apache / subversion and mod_dav in openSUSE 11.2
I have setup a virtual host on my home server (because I need to access it from the Internet), that should be a subversion server.
The subversion root directory is the

/srv/svn/repos

I plan to use a separate directory for each project.
So, the svn tree will be

  1. /srv/svn/repos/project1/…
  2. /srv/svn/repos/project2/…
  3. /srv/svn/repos/project3/…

Apache serves the web pages (actually the directories) but since the documentroot and the SVN root are the same, it cannot handle the SVN repositories correctly.
So, I re-read the Setting up a Subversion server using Apache2 - openSUSE how-to and followed it’s suggestion. (Use a Location outside the document root)
Anyway, the problem is that I have a 404 error, which of course is normal, since there is no alias set for the /rep location I use.

The apache configuration is:


NameVirtualHost *:8080>   
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerName svn.home
ServerAdmin webmaster@server.home 
DocumentRoot /srv/www
        #Alias /rep/ /srv/svn/repos/
        <Location /rep >
                Allow from all
                Dav On
                SVNParentPath /srv/svn/repos
                SVNListParentPath On
                AuthType Digest
                AuthDigestAlgorithm MD5
                AuthName "svnadmins"
                AuthDigestDomain /
                AuthDigestProvider file
                AuthUserFile /srv/www/.htpasswd
                Require valid-user
        </Location>
        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/svn.error
        TransferLog /var/log/apache2/svn.access
</VirtualHost>

So, without the Alias directive the http://server.home:8080/repos returns a 404 error and the log files say that the /srv/www/rep directory does not exists (correct).
If I set the Alias directive, then I have a forbidden (403) error, since no index file exists.
But, the most important thing is that the svn is not working. When I try to create a new directory with the svn command, I have the following error:

svn mkdir http://localhost:8080/rep/sites/test -m "Repository Creation"
svn: Repository moved permanently to 'http://localhost:8080/rep/sites/'; please relocate

So, how do I correctly setup apache?

OK, I found it (finally).
The error the the DAV option.
It should be DAV SVN not Dav On
