[users@httpd] Client Authentication Setup

[Eric Brown <ericbro@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello-


Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong location.  Didn't know where to file this one under.

I'm having a problem setting up access and authentication using subversion and tortoise.

Client: WinXP, Tortoise 1.1.4

Server: Solaris 9, subversion 1.0.5
Apache 2.0.54


When I use tortoise's repo browser to access my repository, I get the following error message:

"Unable to access /svn: 403:Forbidden"


I imagine it's a permissions issue.  Here's my httpd.conf file


user svn

group svnadmin


specific modules

dav_module

dav_svn_module

authz_svn_module


<Location /svn>

    DAV svn

    SVNParentPath /export/myserver/repos

    

    #Access Policy

    AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/svn-access-file

   

    #Authentication

    Require valid-user


    #How to authenticate

    AuthType Basic

    AuthName "Eric's Repos"

    AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth-file

    AllowOverride None

    Order Allow, Deny

    Allow from all

</Location>


the user and group have recursive read/write perms on /export/myserver/repos


Apache's error log shows the following:

[crit] client 10.0.0.2 Permission Denied /export/myserver/repos/
.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check .htaccess file, ensure it is
readable


access log:

"PROPFIND / HTTP 1.1" 403 202 "-" "SVN/1.1.4 (r13838) neon/0.24.7 (access through repo browser)

"GET / HTTP 1.1 403 202 Mozilla/4.0 compatible msie 6.0 Win Nt 5.1



I can't figure out what I'm missing.  Any input would be appreciated.
