That can't be right, since it works perfectly when I use the authz file by itself. When I add that apache location in, everything except the file that is indicated in that location works exactly as expected with the authz file in the order I have it.

Subject: On commit attempt, Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to CHECKOUT
I'm trying to integrate a SVN Authz authorization file with apache configuration files to provide a solution for not just directory level restrictions, but also file level restrictions. It's my understanding that the SVN Authorization file is not capable of handling file-specific restrictions, only directory level.
The SVN Authz file is set up and i'm able to use it with absolutely no issues what-so-ever. If I switch to using just the Apache Conf file by itself, it works exactly as expected with no issues. But if I combine them I get something very weird. Everything works just fine, except the trying to commit the file that was restricted by the following Location/Limit:
<Location "/subversion/repo/*/*/*/folder/structure/RestrictedFile">
<Limit PUT>
Require user my_username
</Limit>
</Location>
I'm able to view, update, and checkout the file, and am able to do anything (checkout, commit, etc) to other files in the same directory, but when I attempt perform a commit of changes to the "RestrictedFile", I get the following error:
Error: Commit failed (details follow):
Error: Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to CHECKOUT
Error: request for '/subversion/repo/!svn/ver/110/folder/structure/RestrictedFile'
the apache access log file gives me the following:

If I remove the <Location...> entry listed above, i'm able to commit just fine.
My svnauthz file basically has this:
[/]
* =
my_username = rw
The ordering is important. Authz uses the fist match. The first rule matches for all users, including ‘my_username’, so the second rule is ignored. Try swapping the order of the directives, i.e.
[/]
my_username = rw
* =
If I change “* = “ to “* = r”, I get the same issue. If I change it to “* = rw”, I’m able to commit.
