Hi

As I stated in my original post, I beleive /etc/svn-auth is ok, because non
AuthzSVNAccessFile authentication works fine.

The contents of the file looks similar to this:

paul:<various random letters symbols and numbers>

There is no new line. Does that metter?

I've been doing some fiddling:

# httpd.conf

<Location /svn>
        DAV svn
        SVNParentPath /home/web/svn

        AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/svn-access
        Satisfy Any
        Require valid-user

        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "SubVersion Repository"
        AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth
</Location>

# /etc/svn-access

[begin-cpp:/begin-cpp]
paul = wr

and the error from the apache error_log is:

[Tue Sep 28 10:59:07 2004] [error] [client 82.120.160.30] Access denied:
'paul' GET begin-cpp:/

Does that help? I think maybe my /etc/svn-access is wrong?

Regards
Paul
