    <p>I have been trying to set up an svn repository on an ubuntu 11.04 machine using apache2 as the server. I was able to build the VirtualHost, get it started, create the svn repository, set up the SSL and access the svn repository locally. </p> <p>However, for the last 1.5 days I've been trying to figure how to check it out to check it out from a different machine using svn checkout with a user I previously created for the svn. When I try to check out in the terminal, I get the following error:</p> <pre><code>svn: access to '&lt;Location&gt;' forbidden </code></pre> <p>On the other hand, if I go to my browser, I get a 403 Error saying:</p> <pre><code>You don't have permission to access /svn/TSAACode on this server. </code></pre> <p>Now, I have scoured google, stackoverflow, linux forums and my grand mother's attick and not been able to find a solution. I have a hunch that it has something to do with permissions SVN directory (which I set to 777), or maybe something with the server not being allowed to read the files.</p> <p>Here are some of the important files:</p> <p>Virtual Host:</p> <pre><code>&lt;VirtualHost *:443&gt; ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem SSLProtocol all SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM DocumentRoot /svn/Code/ &lt;Directory /&gt; Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None &lt;/Directory&gt; &lt;Directory /svn/Code/&gt; Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all &lt;/Directory&gt; ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ &lt;Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin"&gt; AllowOverride None Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Order allow,deny Allow from all &lt;/Directory&gt; ErrorLog /etc/apache2/logs/papasmurf_error.log LogLevel warn CustomLog /etc/apache2/logs/papasmurf_access.log combined Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/" &lt;Directory "/usr/share/doc/"&gt; Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128 &lt;/Directory&gt; &lt;/VirtualHost&gt; </code></pre> <p>dav_svn.conf File:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Location /svn/Code&gt; DAV svn SVNParentPath /svn AuthType Basic AuthName "Code" AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth.htpasswd Require valid-user SSLRequireSSL &lt;/Location&gt; </code></pre> <p>I think that should be enough of a word vomit - I hope someone has an idea of what is going on... I sure don't. Thank you in advance!</p>

    1. CODo you have any information in the server logs? Is it intentional that you have both a `<directory>` and a `<location>` block for `/svn/TSAACode`?

    2. COBoth the access.log and the error.log are empty. The `<directory>` and `<location>` blocks are left-overs from the initial copy of the default file. Truth be told, I don't know if both or which one of the two is required...

    3. COHeh, I bet Apache doesn't have write permission to `/etc/apache2/logs/`. (Which is probably a good idea. Logs belong in `/var/log/`.)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
