authentication error while importing from netbeans to subversion

Question

Hi Everyone....

I just began looking into source control.... And installed subversion from collabnet... I also use netbeans(6.8) to work with PHP...

I have done the following steps

1. I have installed subversion is c:\program files\collabnet\ and the root for the repositories in e:\svn_repository

2. I then created a repository as e:\svn_repository\lemon

3. I then edited the passwd file and added the user and password

4. I then tried importing an existing project into the repository with the address - svn://localhost/lemon with the new user and password.

   After all this, i get the error "authentication failed"... I am pretty sure the authentication is correct...

I tried importing the project with the address file:///E:/sv_repository/lemon with no authentication and it connected...

But i got other guys who got to connect to this server through lan and svn:// protocol is the only option....

What am i doing wrong here..? Also.. where can i find a proper tutorial to connect netbeans and collabnet subversion.....?

Thanks for your suggestions and time...

Answer 1

you must setup webdav_svn

Answer 2

Did you restart svnserve after changing svnserve.conf? Are you sure you have added users to passwd, not to svnserve.conf?

Answer 3

Hi,...

Found out the mistake... i had enabled both anon-access and auth-access at the same time in the svnserve.conf file....

Commenting one of them did the trick....

A stupid mistake... but a pitfall to watch for n00bs like me...!!

Cheers..!
