RE: Setting a web page at the repositories' parent URL

I had issues with SVNParentPath but I think it was how I set it up. When I set it up the way I showed, it worked well. When I was doing this, I did not find docs that explained SVNParentPath well enough to me so maybe that is why I had the setup issues.

Regards,
Mark

That's exactly what SVNParentPath is supposed to let you do more easily and concisely.

That's exactly what SVNListParentPath is for.

What issues are you referring to?
