yep, for me adding the /svn to the location tag solved the problem. Thanks!

it should say in the conf file. That will solve your problem. You can use sudo apachectl -t to check your configuration file.

Great looking tutorial, but I’m getting stuck – wonder if anyone can help?

As soon as I create the svn.conf and restart apache, I get a “Failed to Connect” in Firefox when I browse to localhost.

If I delete the svn.conf and restart apache, my localhost works fine and I get the apache test page again.

Not sure whether it makes any difference, but when I create and edit the svn.conf, I have to sudo pico otherwise it won’t let me save it.

Running OSX 10.5.5 with subversion 1.5 installed, and I have tried both

LoadModule dav_svn_module /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_dav_svn.so

DAV svn
SVNParentPath /usr/local/svn

and

LoadModule dav_svn_module /opt/subversion/lib/svn-apache/mod_dav_svn.so

DAV svn
SVNParentPath /usr/local/svn

after reading the various comments – but no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Adam, you need to set a username and password – a whole other issue…

Quick question: how do I lock this down? anyone on the same network as my machine can access the svn repo. My fiancee went to my machine’s ip/svn/reponame and was able to see it.

Thanks in advance

I did a view source and you have BRs all over the place, what did you use to make this page? They might account for the line issues.
