What are the other characters supported in the apache authorization file (AuthzSVNAccessFile)? Any documentation available?
In case if there are any human errors in the authorization file, its making repository unavailable. Is there a tool/mechanism to check the access configurations before restarting the apache? For ex: without having a group, granting access to a directory will break the repository access.

Could not get arounf the fact that users needed R-access to root of repos, so I ended up with something like the following to prevent users from having R-access to entire repos.: [repo:/] @admin = rw *=r [repo:/projects/Project1/subProject1] @project1_subproject1Developers = rw ~project1_subproject1Developers = The ~ is a negation, meaning "all users not in the group" Geir Note : All inquiries regarding Subversion, MKS and general Development servers should be directed to "EDB SourceControl System" From: Joseph Isenberg [mailto:jisenb...@gmail.com] Sent: 27. oktober 2010 16:19 To: users@subversion.apache.org Subject: SVN Path Authorization Can I set up an AuthZSVNAccessFile that doesn't allow read to the root, but does allow read an read/write to sub-paths. I want something like this: [repo:/] @admin = rw [repo:/projects/Project1] @project1_admin = rw [repo:/projects/Project1/subProject1] @project1_subproject1Developers = rw I would then give the devs the url to the subproject and they could check that out. I'm pretty sure I've done something like this in the past, but now it won't let me check out unless I have read access to the parent paths. Thanks for any help. Joseph Isenberg
