Elise points out the two problems with your instructions: the missing "etc" directory and the missing Location tags. The missing directory is easy to fix - just create it. The Location tags are explained in the MacDevCenter article you've linked to above (towards the end of the first page). Thanks Blake, I’ve been hunting for a guide like this.

I can't give good advice here because I've never gotten that to work (that's why I'm reading all these blogs and pointing out omissions). As far as the suggestion for creating a authentication file in /opt/local/apache2/etc/svn-auth-file -- that is in one of those articles you link to but have you actually tried it? My Darwinports Apache2 installation has no etc folder at that place, and I've seen others point this out to in comments to that article. I have to say I'm a bit disappointed, I thought I'd finally found someone who has the same problem I have (getting Subversion to work on a DarwinPorts installation) and who was writing from actual experience, not just copying and pasting googled stuff. Anyone who follows the steps in your article to the letter is doomed to disappointment and frustration, I'm sorry to say.

It's on the team's radar. There is a bug in Xcode 2.1 that makes Xcode not friendly with URLs with ports and usernames in the URL string. It’s on the team’s radar.
