LinuxQuestions.org - permissions issue in websvn

I'm struggling to set up websvn with ssl.

I folowed this http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion

If I set up a virtual host to use SSL and Basic auth I get a password prompt

Code:

NameVirtualHost *:443

ServerName svn.tracker-software.com

<VirtualHost *:443>

    DocumentRoot /var/www/

    SSLEngine on

    SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem

    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key

<Location />

    DAV svn

    SVNParentPath /var/lib/svn

    SVNListParentPath Off

    AuthType Basic

    AuthName "SVN Repository"

    AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd

    Require valid-user

  </Location>

</VirtualHost>

Quote:

I get a 403 forbidden when I enter the password.
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

I have run the following on /var/www

Code:

chmod -R 770 /var/www/

and on the repo

Code:

chmod 770 -R /var/lib/svn/

also tried

Code:

chown -R www-data:subversion /var/lib/svn/

Code:

chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/

and am unsure what I need to do to make the site available.

Any suggestions?
