Hello,
System Configuration: Windows Server 2003 Apache Subversion 1.7.6 TortoiseSVN 1.7.9 HTTP Server 2.2.22 I am trying to configure Subversion with Basic Authentication but the error log indicates the user cannot be found which tells me the passwd file is not being seen. In this example the top level directory of the Repository is C:\svnrepos\test1. IP has been masked for security purposes. Should the passwd file reside elsewhere? Perhaps relative to the ServerRoot?
