Very helpful. Here is a command summary of my apache2 subversion mod_dav_svn install (starting configuration). Basically I did:

$ sudo port selfupdate
$ port -v
MacPorts 1.600

$ sudo port install apache2
$ sudo port uninstall subversion # was already installed without mod_dav_svn
$ sudo port install subversion +mod_dav_svn +tools

$ cd /opt/local/apache2/conf
$ sudo cp httpd.conf.sample httpd.conf
$ sudo vi httpd.conf # added Include
$ cat httpd.conf | grep svn # no match
$ cat httpd.conf | grep subversion
Include conf/extra/httpd-subversion.conf
$ cat /opt/local/apache2/conf/extra/httpd-subversion.conf
LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so

DAV svn
SVNPath /Library/Subversion

$ curl http://localhost/svn/
svn – Revision 16: /

svn – Revision 16: /

Powered by Subversion version 1.5.0 (r31699).

considering you’re recommending the stock mysql 5 package, wouldn’t mysqladmin be in /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin instead of /opt? or are you suggesting we should use the mysql 5 that comes with MacPorts?

Did you run the “sudo port selfupdate” command? If not, try that.

I had the same problem. You’ll need to install the XCode package from http://developer.apple.com/tools/download/

Hi , I am having trouble installing apache2

When I attempt to intstall I get this error:

Error: Unable to execute port: wrong # args: should be “proc name args body”

I’ve typed in the unix line multiple times as well, when I put a space between apache and 2 “apache_2″ I get:

—> Cleaning apache
Error: Port 2 not found

Could you please help explain my problem?
