403 Forbidden error with SVN 1.1.1 and Apache2

Hi people, I am trying to plug SVN 1.1.1 into Apache 2 on Windows XP.
I started from scratch and installed Apache and SVN, then followed the
book instructions and modified the default httpd.conf to include these
lines:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so
LoadModule dav_svn_module     modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module   modules/mod_authz_svn.so

<Location /svn>
  DAV svn
  SVNParentPath c:/repo
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Subversion repository"
  AuthUserFile c:/svn-auth-file
  Require valid-user
</Location>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I point to the repository's URL, it does prompt me for a
password, but the page that follows is a 403 Forbidden Error. I have
tried many suggestions but now I am really lost. Does anyone know
where should I look at?

Regards

Matheus

Does this file exist and contain user names as described in the book? If  
not, I would recommend to remove the authz_svn_module from the config to  
see if the other parts of your setup are working. You need  
authz_svn_module only if you want to controll access to the repositories  
on a per-directory basis.

First, to be able to give specific help, we need more specific
problems. =)

Very first, you should check your Apache error logs and see what is
there.  Secondly, have you double checked that c:/repo points to the
correct location?  Thirdly, do you try to access directly your
http://localhost/svn/? That won't work, because it isn't a repository,
but a SVNParentPath.  Lastly, could you access your repository without
Auth-stuff?

BR, Jani

Well, it looks like Subeclipse only works if you already have the
server's certificate cached, by connecting first with the svn command
line. Although my certificate *was* cached, I connected with svn using
the IP address and not the domain's name, and Subeclipse complained
when I tried to create a new repo location using the domain' name.

Matheus

Thanks for your great help, I've sorted this '403 Forbidden' problem out.
--

I am currently puzzled by another issue. I can connect to my HTTPS
repository normally through the command line, and I have the server's
certificate locally cached. However when trying to create a new
repository location using Subeclipse, it says

Error validating location: "org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: RA
layer request failed
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/test'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/test': Server certificate verification failed:
issuer is not trusted(...)"

It lets me keep the location, but won't let me browse. Do I have to
add my svn server to a list of trusted domains? Why does the command
line work without it?

Thank you

Matheus
