basic permissions question?

[Peter <ph...@ointment.org>]

I've built a Subversion 1.06 server on Linux. I created a new user and
group, 'svn', and set Apache 2.0.50 to run with that identity on port
8080. I am confused about the permissions that need (or should) be set
for the directory structure under which I will be storing my repository.
I tried /usr/svn/repos for starters. Currently /usr/svn and the
directories underneath have owner svn.svn and 0755 permissions, e.g.:

drwxr-xr-x  7 svn svn 4096 2004-07-05 19:15 repos

I am trying to access http://www.ointment.org:8080/svn and am getting
403'd. Here are some lines from httpd.conf that I hope can shed light on
my confusion:

ServerRoot "/usr/local/apache2"
Listen 8080
LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so
LoadModule dav_svn_module     modules/mod_dav_svn.so
User svn
Group svn
ServerName www.ointment.org:8080
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs"

<Location /svn>
    DAV svn
    SVNParentPath /usr/svn/repos
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Subversion Repository"
    AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth-file
    Require valid-user
</Location>

Can someone offer direction, please?

Thanks much.

Peter

Uh, there's no such thing as 1.0.6.  The latest release is 1.0.5. 
Perhaps you checked out the HEAD revision of the 1.0.x branch?

That's because you're using SVNParentPath, rather than SVNPath.  "/svn"
is currently expected to be the *parent* of N repositories, not a
repository itself.  Decide what you want, and fix accordingly.  :-)
