Trying to authenticate "Basic Setup"
Hi,
My passwrds were set when I installed the program, ex: Harry and Sally.
When I right click and select sv n-repo-browser and use the location
" http://localhost/svnrepos/test1 "
I get the followning error:
"Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://localhost/svnrepos/test1'
The OPTIONS request returned invalid XML in the response. XML parse error at line 1: no element found ( http://localhost/svnrepos/test1 )
I've been teaking the httpd.conf file all morning, does anybodky know what I'm doing wrong?
OS= Windows 2003
Apache 2.2
TortiseSVN 1.7.4

It may matter. What modules do you have installed?

I do not see the paths corrected here as I noted in my previous post
(replace \ with /).
You need to specify the full path to your AuthUserFile. You have not
done so here.
Have you read through the relevant portion of the manual yet?

Andy,
I've tried that here's the updated one from 10 minutes ago.
Still can't authenticate. I also added a new users name and pasword.
Does it matter on what modules I need or not need loaded
for basic authentication??
<Location /svn/>
#<Location C:\svnrepos\test1>
DAV svn
#SVNPath C:\svnrepos\test1
SVNParentPath c:\svnrepos
#SVNListParentPath on
#SVNParentPath C:\svnrepos
# SVNIndexXSLT "/svnindex.xsl"
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion repositories"
AuthUserFile passwd
#AuthzSVNAccessFile svnaccessfile
Require valid-user
</Location>

Change your DOS backslashes to regular slashes (\ to /) in the paths.
Apache is interpreting them as an escape character.
When you point at your repository, you should be pointing at
http://server/svn/REPOSNAME where REPOSNAME is the name of the
directory you've created under c:\svnrepos when creating the
repository. So if you ran:
svnadmin create c:\svnrepos\test1
then your URL is http://servername/svn/test1/

It sounds like that's not the URL of the repository. Show us the relevant part of your httpd.conf.
