I want to achieve a svn-root in /var/svn and repositories(projects) in there.
I could get it to work in the browser (http://domain/url gives me "Collection of repositories") but the TortoiseClient is giving me the error mentioned in the title.
I set up a subversion on my ubuntu server by doing the following (shortened):
mkdir /var/svn
svnadmin create /var/svn/test
and my dav_svn.conf looks the following:
<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /var/svn
SVNListParentPath On
</Location>
I read about sym links possibly causing the problem, so I'll attach my 000-default site as well (it's the standard btw):
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn

Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
</Directory>
I tried like suggested in How do I list all repositories with the SVNParentPath directive on Apache+SVN?
but unfortunately I get another tortoise error then (while I can still see it fine in my browser)
It then gives me "The OPTIONS request returned invalid XML in the response: XML parse error at line 1: no element found"
(and HTTP OPTIONS to that url indeed gives no response body)
Does anyone know what is causing this problem?
Cheers!
Edit: This is the access.log output after trying to reach http://server/svn through tortoise
(with Location /svn)
Notice the 301 .. TortoiseSVN changes the path to 'http://server/svn' without a leading slash, tho I specified to search within 'http://server/svn / '

I konw this is an old thread, however for the beneift of others that find it:
Just a guess, but does the url your browser give you have "viewvc" or some other part that is added in by the svn browser?
Tortoise won't check that out since it's not an actual svn url; your svn url is probably something like
