Re: Problems viewing the svn repo in an internet browser (Patrick)
Hi thanks for the tip, however it has not solved the problem.
I think I'm already able to make the connection as I get prompted for the
password on this URL (http://x.x.x.39/cruisecontrol), but when I enter in
details, the prompt just re-iterates itself. (problem delivering the
passwords I presume, as the user/passwd are correct)
Anyone have any ideas?

RE: Problems viewing the svn repo in an internet browser
Posted by "Trauger, Theresa J" <th...@lmco.com>.
I just did this very thing today and had to use:
<Location /svn/>
Then I could see my list of repositories at:
http://ServerNameOrIP/svn/
I had to put the slash on the end.

It is, however, definitely a necessary step.
You showed is the path "/var/svn/repositories/cruisecontrol/conf/
svnserve.conf". This shows me that inside the directory /var/svn/
repositories, you have a repository called cruisecontrol. You must
either use:
SVNPath /var/svn/repositories/cruisecontrol
or if you have several repositories under /var/svn/repositories that
you would like to serve with the same authorization files, then you
must use:
SVNParentPath /var/svn/repositories

Based on your <Location /svn> directive, that's not a correct URL for
your repositories. If you're using SVNPath pointing to a single
repository, then the correct URL would be:
http://ServerNameOrIP/svn
If you're using SVNParentPath pointing to a directory containing
repositories, then the correct URL would be:
http://ServerNameOrIP/svn/RepositoryName
