Hi Hari,
Thanks a lot for responding to my mail.
But I have tried what was there in the svnbook earlier and I got the below
error while accessing the repository through the Tortoise repository
browser.
Error * REPORT request failed on 'http://<IP:Port>/dummy' REPORT of
'http://<IP:Port>/dummy': 403 Forbidden (http://<IP:Port>)
I have removed the IP and Port in the above error for security reasons.
The contents of the httpd.conf file is as follows:
<Location /dummy>
DAV svn
SVNPath /subversion/dummy
SVNReposName "NEO Dummy Repository"
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion repository"
AuthzSVNAccessFile /workarea/svn/svn-acl
AuthUserFile /export/home/svn/svn-auth-file
AuthGroupFile /workarea/svn/svn_grp_file
<Limit POST PUT>
Require group mygrp
</Limit>
<Limit PROPFIND GET>
Require group mygrp nopegroup
</Limit>
</Location>
My physical path of the repository is: /subversion/dummy.
The access file /workarea/svn/svn-acl content is:
[dummy:/]
karthikp = wr
I have given it as "wr" instead of "rw" as it was giving the same error and
I have read that giving "wr" resolves the problem. But it is not the case
here.
The group file /workarea/svn/svn_grp_file has the following content:
mygrp: karthikp dummy admin
nopegroup: testuser
Its working fine for me without this "AuthzSVNAccessFile" thing.
Please let me know if I am giving anything wrong or missing anything. Thanks
a lot in anticipation.
Thanks,
Karthik
