Question about Basic Authentication

Hello,

System Configuration:

Windows Server 2003

Apache Subversion 1.7.6

TortoiseSVN 1.7.9

HTTP Server 2.2.22

I am trying to configure Subversion with Basic Authentication but the
error log indicates the user cannot be found which tells me the passwd
file is not being seen.

In this example the top level directory of the Repository is
C:\svnrepos\test1.

IP has been masked for security purposes.

Should the passwd file reside elsewhere? Perhaps relative to the
ServerRoot?

LoadModules: - The "mod_auth_basic.so" load module is enabled in
httpd.conf

LoadModule auth_basic_module modules/mod_auth_basic.so

Fragment of httpd.conf <Location> directive (it references full path to
the passwd file...)

<Location /svn/>

DAV svn

SVNParentPath c:/svnrepos

AuthType Basic

AuthName "Subversion repositories"

AuthUserFile C:/svnrepos/test1/conf/passwd

Require valid-user

</Location>

Fragment from access log:

xxx..xx.x.xx - "" [06/Sep/2012:15:38:37 +0100] "OPTIONS /svn/test1
HTTP/1.1" 401 401

xxx..xx.x.xx - "" [06/Sep/2012:15:38:37 +0100] "OPTIONS /svn/test1
HTTP/1.1" 401 401

Fragment from error log:

Thu Sep 06 15:30:48 2012] [error] [client xxx..xx.x.xx] user jimmy not
found: /svn/test1

URL from within the TortoiseSVN GUI (on the local machine):

http://<local_host_name>/svn/test1
