Description

Hello,

i have installed Subversion 1.6.6 with Apache 2.2.16 as Server on Windows 
Server 2008.
Here my issue:
I have installed Subversion and Apache on my Server and i also created 
an "passwd" file that contain my users, so that works all fine. I can connect 
and when i type in my user and password i get access to Subversion. 
But if i actived the AuthzSVNAccessFile with the authorization, than i get no 
access to subversion!

here are my http.conf content of "svn":
<Location /svn>
  DAV svn
  SVNParentPath E:/SVN
  SVNListParentPath on
  SSLRequireSSL
  SVNIndexXSLT "/svnindex.xsl"
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Subversion-Projektarchive"
  AuthUserFile "E:/Program Files/Apache2.2/userverwaltung/passwd"
  Require valid-user
  AuthzSVNAccessFile "E:/Program Files/Apache2.2/userverwaltung/svnaccessfile"
</Location>

Content of my AuthzSVNAccessFile (name of the file is: svnaccessfile.conf):

[groups]
Admin = Toni, David
user = bob, john

[/]
* = r
@Admin = rw
user = r

Content of Apache logs:

[Mon Oct 18 09:16:51 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] The URI does not contain 
the name of a repository.  [403, #190001]

regards
