403 Forbidden only with Client

I have setup an  SVN Server through Apache 2.  I can access the 
repository fine with a web browser.  However, when I try to use the 
command line, TortiseSVN or Subclipse I get 403 Forbidden.  Here is my 
exact error :

svn: PROPFIND of 'the/repos': 403 Forbidden (http://thedomain.com/the/repos)

I can't understand why  I am able to view the repository just fine in 
the web browser, but the clients error out.

Please help.

Can you send your apache.conf when you had the problem?
Just part where you define the repository location.

Thanks

I was able to get it to work by creating a virtual host for the repository.

To get your response to go to the mailing list, you must use your  
mail program's "reply to all" feature, not the "reply" feature you  
may be used to.

Sorry that suggestion didn't work out for you; then I don't know what  
it could be, and I'll let someone else on the list give it a shot.

To respond to someone else's suggestion: if it works fine in a web  
browser, then there cannot be a problem with SVNPath vs. SVNParentPath.

The difference between a web browser and the svn client is that a web  
browser only sends GET requests whereas the svn client uses PROPFIND  
requests. Are you going through a proxy? Many proxies don't know  
about PROPFIND, REPORT and the other WebDAV methods svn needs to use.  
You must configure the proxy to handle these methods as well.  
Alternately, use HTTPS; since the proxy cannot read the HTTPS stream  
because it is encrypted, it must pass all of it through unaltered.

Check the apache config. Is it SVNParentPath or SVNPath ?

Have you had a look at the network traffic with something like Ethereal to
see where the two processes are differing?

I have setup an  SVN Server through Apache 2.  I can access the 
repository fine with a web browser.  However, when I try to use the 
command line, TortiseSVN or Subclipse I get 403 Forbidden.  Here is my 
exact error :

svn: PROPFIND of 'the/repos': 403 Forbidden (http://thedomain.com/the/repos)

I can't understand why  I am able to view the repository just fine in 
the web browser, but the clients error out.

Please help.
