Start by fixing your slashes. Subversion uses real ones, not the
backwards Windows ones.

You're using a current release of the software, you ought to be using
the corresponding version of the manual instead of one that's 6 years

BTW, server configuration questions are better sent to the Subversion
Users list, as TortoiseSVN is only a client.
