FW: Re: Newbie: Unable to Create Layout and Import InitialData(S ubversion & TortoiseSVN)

Hmm, this raises a question for me. Is it "allright" to have settings
like this in my httpd.conf?

# Subversion Repository Location setup
<Location /svn>
    DAV svn

# Repository location
    SVNParentPath svn

# Repository Authentication Mechanism
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Subversion Repository"
    AuthUserFile svn/svn-auth-file

# Repository Authorization Policy definition
    AuthzSVNAccessFile svn/svn-access-policies
    Satisy Any
    Require valid-user

</Location>

So, I have the users and policies files IN the SVNParentPath
directory... It works, but does it present any kind of security risk?

Also, Apache doesn't seem to like the following absolute path.

  SVNParentPath //D:/SVNRepos

I'm sure it's in the apache docs somewhere, but I can't find it, so if
someone could please enlighten me, I'd be tickled...

Thanks,
Wes

Yes. Separate the two universes completely. No overlaps in the
httpd.conf file, or on disk.

Universe #1:

DocumentRoot "E:/ApacheGroup/Apache2/htdocs"

<Directory "E:/ApacheGroup/Apache2/htdocs">
  ...whatever options you want regarding "real" files </Directory>

Universe #2:

<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath E:\SVN-Repositories\
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion repositories"
AuthUserFile passwd
#AuthzSVNAccessFile svnaccessfile
Require valid-user
</Location>
