Hello: I have been tackling a problem for a couple of days and decided to reach out in case anyone else has experienced this and has a suggestion or a solution. I have installed Apache 2.2.6. (This is not my first time installing a version of Apache just on another machine) I have it configured and I get the It works in the browser, I'm able to render pages on my local host. I have installed subversion configured the necessary file along with my httpd config file. Subversion is installed and I'm using version 1.6.6 because this is the version that works with Dreamweaver cs5. I have included all necessary modules and files in modules folder for Apache as well as to the httpd config file. I added the part below for SVN along with password and authentication file. The password file works because I type in wrong password for user ad I so get an error in log file. #Subversion <Location /svnrepository/> DAV svn #SVNParentPath bin/svnrepository SVNPath /bin/svnrepository SVNListParentPath on AuthzSVNAccessFile bin/apachesvnauth Satisfy Any AuthType Basic AuthName "Pamela's Repository" AuthUserFile bin/apachesvnpasswd Require valid-user </Location> The only error I get in error log is access denied(403 Forbidden). I'm using windows 7 I know this has to do something with my configuration. I tried everything with no luck. My authentication file: [/] * = r [svnrepository:/] user1 = rw user2 = rw I'm at a lost, I deleted both the password and authentication file and recreated them I still get the same results. Any suggestions. Thanking You In Advance PDH
