Path based authentication in Subversion failing for repository, but not path

I am using path-based authentication with svnserve, but it is giving me permission errors if I specify a repository. However, if I just specify a path then it authenticates.

In my authz file, if I do this it works:

[/my/path]
my_username = r

If I do this, it does not work:

[svn:/my/path]
my_username = r

I'm fairly certain that "svn" is the actual name of my repository. If someone could let me know how I find out the name of a repository, that might help. The repository is under /usr/local/svn.

Solution

  • This probably means there's only one repository known to svnserve. Please give more details about your current configuration if you want a precise answer and not guesswork.
