Hi Guys, I am trying to set up subversion and apache2 (using debian 
sarge) and have gotten a bit stuck.

I set up an ssl virtual host for subversion, the config looks like this

<VirtualHost 65.110.15.148:443>
ServerAdmin sean at odonnell.nu
ServerName svn.odonnell.nu
LoadModule dav_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_dav.so
LoadModule dav_svn_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule ssl_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_ssl.so
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem
        <Location /svn>
                DAV svn
                SVNParentPath /home/svn
        </Location>

        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

        LogLevel warn
     CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
        ServerSignature On
</VirtualHost>

and then made a repository like this

cd /home
mkdir svn
chown www-data. svn
su www-data -c "svnadmin create svn/src"

Now according to the docs I have read I should see something like
this if I browse to http://svn.odonnell.nu/svn/src/

Revision 0: /
Powered by Subversion version 1.1.3 (r12730).

But all i am getting are 403 forbidden messages

All the apache error logs have to say is

[Fri Aug 04 19:56:16 2005] [error] [client 193.189.67.122] Access 
denied: - GET svn:/src

Anyone have any ideas about where I am going wrong?

Thanks

Sean
