access permission on setting up Subversion server. Help!

[Chien-Lung Wu <cw...@deltartp.com>]

Hi, 

	I installed, following the INSTALL Guide,  Subversion 0.21.0 on
Linux7.2. 
I have access permission problem when I want to use "svn co http://.....".
Can anyone help me out?

	Following is my process to install/test subversion:

  a. Install everything needed.
  b. Create a repostitory

	svnadmin create /svn/repos/L3 -----> so now I have a repository L3

   c. Modify httpd.conf
	Following the instruction, I add a very simple directive on the
buttom of httpd.conf

	<Location /svn/repos/L3>
		DAV svn
		SVNPath /svn/repos/L3
	</Location>

   d. Restart httpd
	httpd -k stop
	httpd -k start

   e. test
	I use following command to test the configuration:
	
		svn co http://172.18.24.211/svn/repos/L3  -----> checkout
repository L3
					    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
		(Here 192.168.79.82 is the IP address of my Linux box.)

	And I get the error message:
		svn: RA layer request failed
		svn: The pathe was not part of a repository
		svn: PROFIND / 405 method not allowed.

	And I check the /usr/local/apaches/logs/error_log. The error message
is:
	[Fri May 09 17:18:55 2003] [error] [client 172.18.24.211] Could not

	Permission denied  [500, #160029]

	
As the INSTALL guide said, there exist permission problem. So what is the
permisiion problem?
And how can I set the correct permision (which file(s) or directories)?

Appreciate your help.


Best Regards,


Chien-Lung

I believe the problem you are having is that your
apache process doesn't have perms to the repository
you created.  You need to chmod the repository
directory so that it does.  When you create a new
repository the perms are set based on the account you
ran svnadmin under.
