Hi Everyone:
I'm a newbie here and also with Subversion, i'm currently trying to setup an apache based server, but everytime i try to access my repository i get this message (I'm Using Apache 2.0.5 and Subversion 1.2.0 by the way):

401 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. Confused

this is my httpd.conf setup:

<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath C:/repos
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion Repository"
AuthUserFile 'C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\bin\passwd'
#AuthzSVNAccessFile svnaccessfile
Require valid-user
</Location>

i did this in the CMD:
bin\htpasswd -c passwd svnuser--I used this commad to create the passwd file (svnuser is my user)

and then i added the password for svnuser like this:

bin\htpasswd passwd svnuser

and then:
Automatically using MD5 format
New password: 123456
Re-Type New Password: 123456
Adding Password for user svnuser


but when i try to access http://localhost/svn
i get a prompt asking for my user/password, then i type svnuser/123456 ( i have to do this 3 times because it keeps asking me for user/password)and get the 401 Authorization Required


I was hoping you guys could help me with any suggestions or letting me know what am i doing wrong.

Thanks a lot![/b]

There is no need to run htpasswd a second time, since using the -c option it creates the password file and adds the password for the specific user.
IIRC when using apache in windows you should use the forward slashes "/" for paths instead of backslashes "\" and it's good practice not to use directory names with spaces. So change to either
or better yet move the file to a suitable location (like c:/passwd) and see if it works.
