Issue during SVN Installation on Fedora 10?

I followed the following steps :

Code:

Installing SubVersion on Fedora Linux
To install subversion on Linux and make it available over Apache, I took the following steps:
Install subversion on Fedora
yum install subversion
Install mod_dav_svn
yum install mod_dav_svn
Create the SVN Repository
mkdir /svn/repos
svnadmin create /svn/repos/sandbox
Change ownership of the folder to Apache
chown -R apache.apache /svn
Create /svn/repos/sandbox/svnauth file

[/]
user1 = rw
user2 = r
Here, user user1 will have read-write access while user user2 will have read-only access to the entire repository.
Create /svn/repos/sandbox/svnpass file
htpasswd -bcm /svn/repos/sandbox/svnpass user1 passwordUser1
htpasswd -bm /svn/repos/sandbox/svnpass user2 passwordUser2
htpasswd has the following usage
Usage:
htpasswd [-cmdpsD] passwordfile username
htpasswd -b[cmdpsD] passwordfile username password
 
htpasswd -n[mdps] username
htpasswd -nb[mdps] username password
-c Create a new file.
-n Don’t update file; display results on stdout.
-m Force MD5 encryption of the password.
-d Force CRYPT encryption of the password (default).
-p Do not encrypt the password (plaintext).
-s Force SHA encryption of the password.
-b Use the password from the command line rather than prompting for it.
-D Delete the specified user.
On Windows, NetWare and TPF systems the ‘-m’ flag is used by default.
On all other systems, the ‘-p’ flag will probably not work.
Add the following to your apache config file

Code:

<Location /svn/sandbox>
DAV svn
SVNPath /svn/repos/sandbox
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion Repository"
AuthUserFile /svn/repos/sandbox/svnpass
Require valid-user
AuthzSVNAccessFile /svn/repos/sandbox/svnauth
</Location>

Restart Apache
httpd restart
Tried visiting http://www.yourserver.com/svn/sandbox But when tried providing credentials it just receive and show the cursor again at username. After few attempts it shows

Code:

"Authorization failed due to bad password or your browser doesnt know how to open the File

[/code]

Followed these steps but couldn't access during when it asked me for username / passwd which says that

Authrpization Failed due to BAd password or your browser doesnt support

I can see logs and it says :
