Problem setting up SVN & WebDAV in Ubuntu

Question

I've followed every step posted in here:

How to set up a Subversion (SVN) server on GNU/Linux - Ubuntu

I'm using Ubuntu 8.10

After firing up the browser, I get

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /svn on this server. Apache/2.2.9 (Ubuntu) DAV/2 SVN/1.5.1 mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8g Server at localhost Port 443

Answer 1

That guide was following one from '07 so I'm not too surprised not everything went as planned.

Take a look at the official docs on getting it set up.

Answer 2

You should also consider to look at the red book, which is the official subversion documentation. I found it extremely helpful in the past.

Answer 3

Try looking at the permissions for that folder. I wasn't able to get them right, and the only thing that worked for me is was chmod 777 all the folders.
