Setting up a Subversion repository

[barnjo]

I have added a directory /home/svn

I added that path as the SVNParentPath in my dav_svn.conf file

I then CHOWNed that folder to www-data:www-data

On pointing my browser at localhost:8008/svn I get a 403 Forbidden error but not if I goto URL/svn/project

Anyone know whats wrong?

try adding a "/" to the end. I noticed that it's reasonably fickle with choosing the "exact" url.

Nope, http://localhost/svn/ is still forbidden as well

You haven't created any repositories yet. You need to run something like this:

svnadmin create /home/svn/test_repo

Set the permissions on that directory, and once that is all set up, you should be able to go to localhost:8008/svn/test_repo and see what is in that repository.
