Hey Jason -
So I removed the authentication and added the SVNListParentPath
directive and I can now access the repository via my browser at
http://vmws-svn/se. I still get the 403 error using TortoiseSVN,
though. Here's what I see when I access that URL:
=========================================
Collection of Repositories
* conf/
* dav/
* db/
* hooks/
* locks/
Powered by Subversion version 1.3.2 (r19776).
=========================================
Does that look right? Here is my current httpd.conf:
ServerName vmws-svn:80
#
# Subversion stuff
#
<Location /se>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /home/svn/se
SVNListParentPath On
# AuthType Basic
# AuthName "SiteExecutive Subversion repository"
# AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth-file
# Require valid-user
</Location>
I feel like I'm missing something really basic here, but I'm at a loss
for what it might be. Thanks again for your help.
