Hi=20
I am new to subversion and have hit a problem - if anyone feels like helpin=
g=20
it would be much appreciated.
I have set up subversion to run with apache.
Versions:
apache-2.2.4_2=20
subversion-1.4.4_1
I can connect remotely from a client to the server, using name|password=20
combination so authentication appears to work fine but authorization is=20
failing.=20
This is a new repository as can be seen from the output of the=20
svnlook. An initial import attempt from the client fails with the client=20
reporting" RA Layer request failed"and "403 forbidden" error from the serve=
r.
Clearly I have something wrong in my authorization set up. Can anyone point=
me=20
in the right direction?
I have chosen to use an SVNParentPath configuration for multiple repositori=
es=20
to exist under the same "root" with all repositories sharing the same=20
AuthzSVNAccessFile.=20
I have made all repository paths owner:group www:www
I have made no changes to the files created by the svnadmin create command.
