Newbie confusion with authentication....

Ladies and Gentlemen,

**Newbie** very eager to learn and use subversion, but I am stuck at the
basics. I am reading the doco:

This is what I have dome so far:

svnadmin create /usr/local/subversion
svnadmin create /usr/local/subversion/systems
svnadmin create /usr/local/subversion/networks

I have created /HTTPD/etc/svn_access and given the correct
access perms according to the doco as well.

I have created an apache vhost like this:

<VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerName svn.wananchi.com
        ServerAdmin wash@wananchi.com
        DocumentRoot /usr/local/subversion
<Location /svn>
         DAV svn
         # Default Repositories folder
         SVNParentPath /usr/local/subversion
         # our access control policy
         AuthzSVNAccessFile /HTTPD/etc/svn_access
         # try anonymous access first, resort to real
         # authentication if necessary.
         #Satisfy Any
         # Hey, only authenticated users may access the repository
         Require valid-user
         # how to authenticate a user
         AuthType Basic
         AuthName "Subversion Repository"
         AuthUserFile /HTTPD/etc/passwd
</Location>
        SuexecUserGroup svn svn
        ErrorLog /var/log/subversion-error.log
        TransferLog /var/log/subversion-access.log
</VirtualHost>

/HTTPD/ is owned by www:www - my web server user. Apache runs
as www:www

/usr/local/subversion is owned by svn:svn

I simply can't authenticate. I have created the passwd file:

htpasswd -m HTTPD/etc/passwd wash

In the /var/log/subversion-error.log, I see this:

[Tue Oct 26 19:42:09 2004] [error] [client 62.8.64.108] Access denied: 'wash' GET systems:/

What could I be missing?

Thank you for helping a lamer ;)
