RE: Help setting up Apache and SVN

I guess I'll have to buy myself lunch. Thanks anyway.

In case anyone else runs across this problem, here is the fix.

Make sure SVNPath is pointing to your repository location, not your
local working copy; see below in bold.

Subversion

Repository installed at e:\svn_repository

Files checked out locally to e:\src

# Subversion

<Location /svn>

  DAV svn

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

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

  SVNPath e:/svn_repository

# SVNParentPath e:/svn_repository

  AuthType Basic

  AuthName "Subversion repository"

  AuthUserFile e:/svn_repository/.htaccess

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

  <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>

    Require valid-user

  </LimitExcept>

</Location>

Subject: 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

<Location /svn>

  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.

  <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>

    Require valid-user

  </LimitExcept>

</Location>

Subversion

Repository installed at e:\svn_repository

Files checked out locally to e:\src

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

Thanks,

Mike
