httpd service not starting after installation of mod_dav_svn module in RHEL 6

Question

I tried to configure web access to Subversion under Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.7 (Santiago). I installed httpd and mod_dav_svn using yum. But after installing the mod_dav_svn module, the httpd service is showing errors:

Starting httpd: httpd: Syntax error on line 217 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 2 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_dav_svn.so into server: /etc/httpd/modules/mod_dav_svn.so: undefined symbol: dav_register_provider

Can someone help to resolve the issue?

Looks like another missing library issue. Verify that you have subversion library installed.

svn --version

if not,

sudo yum install subversion

To check further for missing libraries, Check the output of following commands

 ldd  /etc/httpd/modules/mod_dav_svn.so

Hope it helps.
