I have an issue adding users to subversion repositories created trough Virtualmin. I can checkout from the repository with users from my vhost that have been added to the repository, however, when I add a user manually by using htpasswd to add it trough commandline to the svn password file or when i add it trough the access controls of the directory in virtualmin, the checkout fails for that user. I also added the user to the svn-access.conf file, so that can’t be the problem…
This is the error when checking out:
Error: Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to OPTIONS
Do you see any errors in that Virtual Server’s error_log file?
Also, the users go into the ~/etc/svn.basic.passwd file. If you have your user added into that, what command line did you use to add it? Secondly, what does your svn-access.conf file look like>
Though yes, changing the the svn-access.conf file to this does make the checkout work, but the user accounts seem to be completely ignored… I changed the password of the user and the checkout still works fine…
