RE: New Installation Authentication Problem

Let me correct myself...

Adding "SVNListParentPath" should allow your repository list to be shown as
per my previous explanation.

==============================================
<Location /svn>
     DAV svn
     SVNListParentPath On
     SVNParentPath /home/svn
</Location>
==============================================

I apologize... somehow your first email got sent to my junk folder.

You show this:

==============================================
<Location /svn>
     DAV svn
     SVNParentPath /path/to/svn
     AuthType Basic
     AuthName "My Test Subversion repository"
     AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth-file
     Require valid-user
</Location>
==============================================

But for SVNParentPath I'm assuming in your real configuration file you have
/home/svn ? You may also wish to comment out the authentication temporarily
until you get everything working. I would suggest trying the following:

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

Then just hit your webserver (through your browser) at http://servername/svn

If all is good, you should get a list of repositories. At that point, you
can reinstate your authentication and try to visit the repository through
your browser, and if that is working properly, you'll be asked for a
username and password.

Which section would you consider applicable, Jason? I included the sections
that I thought would be applicable (for whatever that's worth). If you can
specify, I'll be happy to include any section you think would be helpful.

One other thing I just realized: /home/svn/se is not in the webroot.
Nor is it aliased. I guess I just assumed that defining "Location /se"
would put it there in some sort of de facto way. I'm trying to access the
repository as "http://servername/se" which appears correct since I'm getting
the prompt, but maybe I'm just assuming too much.
Maybe the authentication is working fine, but the files can't be delivered
because the URI isn't correct? I've tried including an
alias: Alias /se/ "/home/svn/se", but that didn't work. This is the only
site on the box so I'm not using virtual hosts.

Hopefully, this provides a bit more information that may be helpful.

Thanks again.
