How do I set up a subversion repository so that svn can use an svnserve running locally? I own the repository. svnserve -d -r ... runs as me. svn mkdir -m 'make trunk' svn://localhost/redeye/trunk fails with svn: Authorization failed There is no request for credentials.
When I google: svnserve "svn: Authorization failed" the first answer says to:
- edit svnserve.conf (password-db and auth-access)
- add users to password-db
Or you can have a look at the documentation... http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch06s03.html#svn-ch-6-sect-3.2
Been there done that. Forgot to save the new improved svnserve.conf . 'Twas using the old lousy version.
