svnserve.conf

I have been getting a bad commit because of a bad svnserve.conf file. 
Here is the error:

commit -m "" C:/Sunshine Tech Solutions SVN 
Repos/workspace/sunshinetechsolutions.com/aisg/projects/test.cfm
    Malformed file
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: /home/svnProjects/sunshinetechsolutions/trunk/conf/svnserve.conf:1: 
Section header must start in the first column\

My svnserve.conf looks like:
 [general]
 anon-access = none
 auth-access = read
 password-db = passwd
 realm = My First Repository

my passwd looks like:

[users]
ravigehlot = bankcd3940

Assuming that you copied and pasted directly, you have a space as the
first character of each line of svnserve.conf. You need to remove
those spaces, at least for the [general] line (which is exactly what
the error is telling you).
