- - Issue with SVN? (https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/issue-with-svn-691367/)

I have installed SVN RPM on my RHEL 4 Update 5 system.I am in verse to configure Web-DAV.What I did is I created a repository called "svn" under /var/projects/ folder.
I went into /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf and enabled the following entry:

Code:



LoadModule dav_svn_module    modules/mod_dav_svn.so

LoadModule authz_svn_module  modules/mod_authz_svn.so



<Location /svn>

  DAV svn

  SVNParentPath /var/projects/svn



  # Limit write permission to list of valid users.

#  <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>

      # Require SSL connection for password protection.

      # SSLRequireSSL



      AuthType Basic

      AuthName "Authorization Realm"

      AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth-file

  #    Require valid-user

 #  </LimitExcept>

</Location>

After that I ran the command:

#htpasswd -cm /etc/svn-auth-file harry
password : ****
password : ****

Now I restarted the httpd and tried to login:

http://<ip>/svn
It opens the login windows and as soon as i enter the password throws me out saying credential incorrect.

Any mistake I am doing here?

Below is the Web Browser Error it dsplays :

Code:

Authorization Required

This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.
