If you want to use the SVNParentPath directive to specify multiple repositories then you also need to set the Location directive to something different than you are thinking. <Location ..> directive should only point to the URL path of the base of the repository (single repository) or parent folder (SVNParentPath directive). Thus, you really want: <Location /parentfolder > ... SVNParentPath /svn/svn/parentfolder ... </Location> All else being the same. HTH, Ben
