Wow, I did not think there were many BDB repositories left in the wild. I think you need to convert to FSFS. That should bring a number of benefits and it will free you to using the event MPM as well. If you do not have the down time to do a dump/load then you should be able to migrate using svnsync. Once the new repository is ready to go it should be relatively short downtime (seconds) to make the new repository the default. Once that is done, then you should be free to use event MPM. I do not recall why event MPM cannot support BDB, but it probably has to do with not being able to support multiple writers from a single process. It has been a documented limitation since SVN 1.7 release notes: https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.7#httpd-2.4-support Mark
