I've tried adding Options Indexes FollowSymLinks inside <Location /repos>...</Location> in subversion.conf , but this didn't affect the error. I'm going to read up a bit on WebDAV, and see if that throws any light on my problem (which is only theoretical, since I can access my SVN repository with svnserver). -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
