403 Forbidden errors hitting Win2K Apache Repo

[Steve Johnson <st...@equilibrium.com>]

Greetings,

I'm stuck.  I've set up a test repository on a Windows 2000 machine.
I'm running Apache 2.0.49 with SSL support and Subversion 1.1.2 on both
server and client.

I have backed off to no access control, so my repository definition in
httpd.conf currently looks like this:

<Location /svn>
  DAV svn
  SVNParentPath C:/SVN_Repositories
</Location>

Permissions are wide open on C:/SVN_Repositories and everything below
it.  Using "file:///" on the server box, I have created a single
repository named 'eng1' in the SVN_Repositories directory.  I have added
three files to the root of the 'eng1' repository.

I can hit the repository just fine from a web browser, via the url
http://mgen2/svn/eng1.  I can see the three files in the repository, and
can access their contents individually.

However, when I try to check out a repository remotely via the svn
client, I get the following:

> svn checkout http://mgen2/svn/eng1
svn: REPORT request failed on '/svn/eng1/!svn/vcc/default'
svn: REPORT of '/svn/eng1/!svn/vcc/default': 403 Forbidden
(http://mgen2)

I get the same thing if I use 'https', and/or if I add any sort of
access controls.

What am I missing or doing wrong here?

TIA for any help you can provide,

Steve Johnson

That's clue #1, proving your httpd.conf is correct.

That's clue #2.

These two clues are the "classic symptom" of some sort of web proxy.  
The proxy is most likely blocking all webdav http methods, such as 
REPORT.
