i am getting forbidden error 403 while accessing subversion repository

[Khoiwal Tara <kh...@yahoo.co.in>]

Hello,
I have configured the apache server for subversion as described in subversion book.First when I haven't specified user authentication it simply gives me access denied error.When I added user authentication and access permissions I got server internal error 500.
I have configured the file as follows:
<Location /svn/repos>
    DAV svn
    SVNParentPath /home/svnroot
    AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/svn-access-file
   Satisfy Any
   Require valid-user
   AuthType Basic
   AuthName "Authorization Realm"
  AuthUserFilr /etc/svn-auth-file
</Location>
And tell me should i have to create root directory alse as the subversion directory?i.e by svnadmin create command?

IIRC the book is relatively detailed on this issue:
You must create all paths and repositores before using them and make sure
the access rights are correctly set so the webserver can access them.
Also a look into the log-files and the SVN-FAQ will help ;-)

So, for you this will be like:

# mkdir -p /home/svnroot
# svnadmin create /home/svnroot
# chown -R <user-the-webserver-runs-as> /home/svnroot

Then start apache.

You might want to look at similar http problems in the archive, too.

Cheers,
Ronny
