the well known apache errors

[futuristic-gr]

Ok, here it is:

I am on Windows XP and would like to try to subversion before deploying to Fedora Core4

- Installed the Subverion 1.3.1 from a .exe binary file (didn't build it)
- Installed Apache 2.2 from apache.org from a .exe binary file (didn't build it)

All i want is to get this thing just woring so i followed svn book instructions and other guides on internet but still i get the apache error from its monitor: The request operation has failed!

this happens when i use the LoadModule command in the httpd.conf

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

When i put those two lines in comments (with the #) apache is up and running....

- Subversion's bin directory is the last on my Path enviroment
- The two mentioned .so files are copied from the Subverion's bin directory to the module directory in Apache

Is there anything else i am forgetting

SVN is not compatible with the 2.2 release of Apache. You have to install an older version. The latest "legacy" version is 2.0.58.

As I understand it, the changes between the 2.0... version of Apache and 2.2... are major. This makes a port of Subversion to the new runtime difficult.

I hope they're working on it, but I don't think any updates have been released yet.

I just hate it whis happens... And mostly happens to Linux... To install it you have to spent around a month if you are a newbie, like a week for medium users and around 2-3 days for the super high duper linux freaks...

Thank God there is Ferdy Christant and his blog, otherwise nothing would have been setup.

People, if you are really confused on how to set subversion with Apache and all this *nix stuff just go to http://www.ferdychristant.com/blog/articles/DOMM-6NFJ6J

Is compatible with Apache 2.2 - I have just completed an install and am getting around to configuring permissions and directory settings.
