Currently my location section is as follows:

#<Location /svn>
# DAV svn
# SVNParentPath d:\Repos
#</Location>
<Location /svn>
        DAV svn
        SVNParentPath D:\Repos
        SVNListParentPath On
# Require valid-user
# AuthType Basic
# AuthName "Subversion repository"
# AuthUserFile D:\Repos\password-file
</Location>

Is there another section that you need?

I have previously used different authentication values and set up a
password
list as per the instructions, but here I was trying to make it wide open
in case it was an authorisation problem.
I downloaded it from here:-
http://downloads.open.collab.net/collabnet-subversion.html
