Rabbitvcs Svn access to this repository is not allowed

Question

I have a repository on my windows server 2008 R2, using TortoiseSvn. In my repository's /conf/svnserve file I've changed:

auth-access = write

and created a user in /conf/passwd file:

[users]
p001 = somepassword

I run the server via cmd

svnserve.exe --daemon --r "path\to\repo"

now on my ubuntu using RabbitVcs Svn I can easily checkout the repository using

svn//my.ip.to.server

but I can't commit, it says Authorization Failed which makes sense due to the above setting, but my question is that rabbitvcs doesn't ask for username/password upon commit. Please advice, Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

1. You forgot in conf\svnserve.conf two things

   Uncomment the line below to use the default authorization file.

   authz-db = authz ...

   Uncomment the line below to use the default password file.

   password-db = passwd

2. In authz-file you must to define rule for at least access to /, otherwise you'll get error like

   1144 2015-02-18T15:42:17.375000Z 127.0.0.1 u2 repo Authorization Failed read /

in log-file (which I'll recommend to have on debug)

but:

for some reason even with

# [/]
u1 = rw
u2 = rw

(auth. user can read and write in repo) I got

>svn ls svn://localhost/repo
Authentication realm: <svn://localhost:3690> Test Repo
Username: u2
Password for 'u2': *****
svn: E170001: Authorization failed

for unknown reason

Answer 2

For me it got resolved by restarting the svnserve.exe with "run as administrator"
