My mistake. <Directory /path/to/svn> 1.I tried it again without my user name and using the directory tag. working well. Thank you. 2. I'd like /svn to be read off of my document root /path/to/docroot. <Location /svn> </Location> Which I understood to mean that when I brought up my page(www.mysite.com), it would display my doc root, /absolute/path/to/docroot, and would use whatever options I place inside of the tags. Correct?
