Svn – Installing SVN on Centos 7

I am pulling my hair out on this, I am in the process of migrating a website and SVN server to a new Centos host, for the last few days I have been trying to get SVN working to no avail.

I have been able to get it to authenticate but it returns after loggin in 404 .

This morning for a test, I done a fresh install of Centos 7, disabled selinux and IPV6

and performed the following commands

yum install httpd subversion mod_dav_svn

vi /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/10-subversion.conf

Alias /svn /var/www/svn
<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /var/www/svn/
AuthType Basic
AuthName "SVN Repository"
AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth-accounts
Require valid-user
</Location>

htpasswd -cm /etc/svn-auth-accounts testuser
New password:
Re-type new password:
Adding password for user testuser

mkdir /var/www/svn
cd /var/www/svn/
svnadmin create repo
chown apache.apache repo/

systemctl restart httpd.service
systemctl enable httpd.service

Now this should setup a basic repo at ipaddress/svn/repo, but I get nothing only a 404 page.

I have tried Following the svn manual http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.serverconfig.httpd.html I reduced the server config to the smallest possible build being

<Location /repos>
  DAV svn
  SVNPath /var/www/svn/repo
</Location>

It is still returning a 404 error.

I have tried placing the config for the svn in conf.d in a file called svn.conf to no avail as well.

systemctl status httpd

I know in Ubuntu you need to enable mods for Apache in order for them to work, I can not find anywhere that says this also needs to be done for Centos.

Can anyone shed some light on what is happening here, I am truely lost,
the httpd error.log shows
