PROPFIND Error
Dear Sir,
I am in the process of setting up Subversion as my Configuration
Management SYstem. As per the documentation available, I have been trying
to setup an http access for the repository but an failing on the same
My httpd.conf has the entries
<Location /Subversion>
DAV svn
SVNPath /usr/UbicompRepo
AuthzSVNAccessFile /usr/Subversion/acp
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion Config Mgt System"
AuthUserFile /etc/Subversion/users
Require valid-user
</Location>
whenever I try
svn list http://localhost/Subversion or
svn co http://localhost/Subversion/UbicompRepo
it responds in the following way
[root@server WC]# svn co http://localhost/Subversion/UbicompRepo
Authentication realm: <http://localhost:80> Subversion Config Mgt System
Password for 'root':
Authentication realm: <http://localhost:80> Subversion Config Mgt System
Username: admin
Password for 'admin':
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/Subversion/UbicompRepo'
svn: PROPFIND of '/Subversion/UbicompRepo': 403 Forbidden
(http://localhost)
[root@server WC]#
I am unable to sort out this issue.....Kindly suggest something

What's in your AuthzSVNAccessFile /usr/Subversion/acp? From the response
you are getting, it seems your authz file is not permitting user admin to
access '/Subversion/UbicompRepo'.

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.
I have commented out the file in later trials, but it is not giving me a

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.
