I installed the Subversion package version 1.7 on windows 7 operating system using admin account

I created the depository with the following command: svnadmin create "c:\svn_repository"

I modified the svnserve.conf and passwd files : anon-access = read, auth-access = write, and password-db = passwd

I installed the Subversion as a windows service and I started it using the following commands:

sc create svnserver binpath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\Subversion\bin\svnserve.exe --service -r c:\svn_repository" DisplayName= "Subversion" depend= tcpip start= auto

I also setted the variable SVN_EDITOR to : set SVN_EDITOR=c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe

The problem I faced is when I invoke the following command :

svn mkdir svn://localhost/myproject

I receive the following error :

svn: E200002: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn://localhost'
svn: E200002: C:\svn_repository\conf\svnserve.conf:19: Option expected

    check the svnserve.conf for whitespace at the beginning of the line for each option you specified (in your case, check line 19 of svnserve.conf, if you have a white space before that line, remove it)
