Can anybody guide me how to write properly svn-auth-file(using htpasswd) and control file

Did you try to Google for this? First hit:
http://linuxconfig.blogspot.com/

Read from step 7 on that page which will "guide you"

Well, you still haven't responded to the FIRST question you posted...did you get the SVN problems you initally asked about resolved? Based on the first post in this thread, you already HAD apache and svn installed and running, and were having authentication problems.

You say "it doesn't work"...how about posting an actual error message? Giving some useful information, would help us to answer you question. Also, you don't say anything about your environment, firewalls, or what version/distro of Linux you're using.


And, if you have a new question, it's best to open a new thread for it, rather than shoving it on to the end of one that you haven't answered yet. And PLEASE spell out your words...

hi friends
my svn access with apache is working fine.
thanks for your suggestions.

now I want to authenticate the same svn using LDAP.
for that I am using OpenDS 1.2.0 in opensolaris environment.
here i am getting some problem like

ldap_simple_bind_s() failed.Can't contact server .

i wrote httpd.conf and ldif file propely only but i didnot get where the error exactly.

Can anybody share sample ldif file and resp httpd.conf plz...


Thanks

As I posted before:

But you still don't spell out your words, and keep tacking questions on to ones you haven't answered previously. If you're not going to do people the courtesy of responding to what they write, why should we answer you?

here is my solution

add the following in /etc/apache2/2.2/httpd.conf

LoadModule dav_svn_module libexec/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module libexec/mod_authz_svn.so

<Location /svn/repos>
DAV svn
SVNPath /absolute/path to your /repos
AuthType Basic

AuthName "Initial Repository Layout"


AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth-file
# AuthzSVNAccessFile /path to your/svn/access/control
require valid-user
</Location>

And give permissions properly
[/] ---this was my problem i made it as [\] wrong

I was getting 403 Forbidden error while trying to access SVN repository too. In my case the reason for this was invalid syntax in authz.conf file (this file is referred in apache config with AuthzSVNAccessFile directive).

Invalid file:

The correct version:

Hope this will help somebody.

BTW, if you need to make basic http auth in apache with more than one password file, you can use this manual:
