RE: Access rights files with Parent path and svn protocol?

Thanks,
Actually it seems to be working now.... I know something changed but I'm not
sure what, but I guess I won't argue with success for now.

You need to configure anon-access, auth-access and password-db for this to
work.

The important distinction is permissions, not authorization. The latter
needs to be done using the former mentioned.

> authz-db =../../ authz

Those paths need a base, this may be the conf directory, but may be some
completely different because "authz" alone without a path may be some
convention. I don't know which is the base or the conventions existing, but
in those cases I always use Process Monitor to check where an application
looks for a file.

If that really doesn't work because of some restrictions of SVN, which I
doubt, you may simply link your authz files throughout all your repos using
symbolic links with mklink.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
