You've given no users any access to the root. You must grant access to the
root if you want to be able to check out the root of the repository.

You mean you commented out the AuthzSVNAccessFile line in the apache config
and still had problems? Did you reload the apache config after changing it?

That's a different error; it looks like your TestRepo setup wasn't quite
right. I wouldn't worry about it and instead focus on getting access to the
real repository working. There is no indication in the errors you have
posted that the problem has anything to do apache's access to the repository
-- it looks like a problem purely with the AuthzSVNAccessFile contents.

This is harmless. Browsers ask for that file to put up a little icon on a
favorites list or browser tab. If you don't have one you get that error in
the log but it doesn't hurt anything.

Any clue????

I think if you fix your AuthzSVNAccessFile to allow access to the root
things will be fine.
