You did not tell us the versions of Subversion and Apache that you are using. I can't help you directly since I've never played with Subversion.
However, you should verify that Subversion works fine with Apache *WITHOUT* any authentication limitations (remove the LimitExcept requirements). If you don't understand this suggestion, then please start reading the documentation suggestions below. If everything works fine without the limitations (like your LOCK command), then you have isolated the issue to that configuration. Build up the LimitExcept stanza with each unauthenticated method you want to enable to see if resolves the issue. Otherwise, you've probably found an issue with Subversion or Apache and you may need to upgrade to eliminate any bugs that exist in older versions. I suggest you read the Subversion Apache configuration chapter as recommended by the Subversion installation guide. http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.serverconfig.html Of course, read the documentation on the Apache LimitExcept directive as well!

All other subversion's directives work as expected. Subversion guys tell me it's an Apache config issue. Whenever I issue a LOCK request, Apache returns "405 Method Not Allowed". Using strace I've recorded Apache high level system calls while submitting two Subversion requests, a CHECKOUT, which works as expected, and a LOCK which returns "405 Method Not Allowed": strace svn co http://zinzalusa/svn/ContactsToLDIF strace svn lock http://zinzalusa/svn/ContactsToLDIF/ContactsToLDIF.bas I've attached the relevant lines of the two logs. If that's not enough or something different is needed, please advise. I really do not know what else I can do to investigate and fix this problem. I did not change httpd.conf, that is exactly the same as it comes with Fedora Core 3. The specific Subversion config file in Apache is subversion.conf and it is attached. I'm not an Apache expert and this issue is delaying the deployment of Subversion. Can somebody please explain what to do to fix it? Your help is very much appreciated.
