I'm resurrecting a subversion setup. subversion 1.6.5 on apache 2. Apache setup <Location /repos> Dav svn SVNParentPath /srv Authtype Basic AuthName "..." AuthuserFile /etc/svnauthfile Require valid-user </Location>
user apache is set as owner of /srv and all subdirectories I used, as root, svnadmin create /srv/files svnadmin create /srv/pac Then updated ownership again. I set two users for access #htpasswd -cm /etc/svnauthfile dpawson #htpasswd -m /etc/svnauthfile sue On the server, as root I can import files OK. as a normal user I can't, and I'm getting svn: Can't open file /srv/files/db/txn-current-lock': Permission denied >From a client # svn list --username dpawson http://192.168.1.74/repos/files svn: access to 'http://192.168.1.74/repos/files' forbidden I guess it's a common 403 error code, but I can't figure out where the permissions are wrong. any suggestions please.
