Hello Andreas,
I have installed the latest Apache server on my machine and now I would lik=
e to install Subversion.
I need to configure Subversion with Apache, but I am unable to find the cor=
rect binaries that include the mod_dav_svn.so and mod_authz_svn.so files.
Could you please help me with the appropriate binaries URL so that I can do=
wnload them and configure Subversion into Apache HTTPD

Don't ask for step by step instructions. Build an understanding, propose
a plan and ask for feedback.

Set up backups your very first step.
