Need help installing SVN on my VPS

So I've been pulling my hair out for the past couple of hours trying to figure this out. I'm somewhat familiar using SVN, but never tried installing it.

Tech support at my VPS hosting company installed SVN for me, but as for configuring it, I'm on my own, since they don't support it.

So I'm able to ssh and create a SVN directory with

which creates these files/folders within the directory:
README.txt
/conf
/dav
/db
format
/hooks
/locks

I then edited the 'passwd' file within the /conf directory

When I try to connect with my SVN client, I get this error

I looked around Googling things, but everyone seems to have a different way to do things. Also reading though subversion.tigris.org is a headache in itself.

Any help would be great!!!

Do those #'s mean that it's commented out?
