How do i make svn repository read only?

Hi,

I am using SVN 1.5.2 and Apache 2.2.9.

I try to switch a svn repository to read only but it doesnt seems to work.

There is only one repo in the svn server, so i went to edit the
svnserve.conf. Adding "auth-access = none" then restart the apache service.

However, I can still commit changes... why?

Thanks.

A.

Isn’t svnserve.conf for the svn daemon, rather than Apache?

Do you have the AuthzSVNAccessFile specified in the Apache config 
section for this repository?

See 
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn-book.html#svn.serverconfig.httpd.authz.perdir

Hope this helps,
