Help setting up Apache and SVN

Does anyone have experience with Apache and Subversion on Windows?

I have subversion installed and have imported my repository. I am able
to checkout files as well to a local drive.

However, I am unable to get access to my repository using Apache. I
believe the basic auth is working as explained in
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html#svn.serverconfig.ht
tpd since I am able to browse http://localhost/svn enter my credentials
and then get a 403 Forbidden error.

Here is my configuration:

Apache2 service

Running as local user 'Apache2' which is member of local Administrators
group

I can browse http://localhost <http://localhost/> and get the main
Apache web page

Httpd.conf

# Subversion

DAV svn

# any /svn/foo URL will map to a repository C:/svn/foo

# I've only got it working using SVNPath!!

# SVNPath e:/src

SVNParentPath e:/svn_repository

AuthType Basic

AuthName "Subversion repository"

AuthUserFile e:/svn_repository/.htaccess

# For any operations other than these, require an authenticated user.

Require valid-user

</LimitExcept>

</Location>

Subversion

Repository installed at e:\svn_repository

Files checked out locally to e:\src

Apache error.log entries

Any help is appreciated, and if you work in downtown Seattle, I might
just buy you lunch!

Thanks,

Mike
