Question

I installed SVN in Windows XP. I got the error when I create a project. How do I fix it?

C:\svn\bin>svn mkdir
svn://localhost/myproject -m “some
msg” –username user1 –password pass
svn: Authorization failed

Here is the configuration file in SVN:

svnserve.conf

anon-access = none
auth-access = write
password-db = passwd

passwd

[users]
user1=pass1
user2=pass2

Answer 1

If the

authz-db = authz

line is uncommented, you have to modify the authz file like this:

[/]
me = rw
otheruser = r

I missed the [/] before and I’ve got the “svn: Authorization failed” on client side. But it works well now.
