Installing SVN username password issue

I'm installing SVN with Apache 2.2 on windows 2003 everything seems good but when I try to login no username/password works

Here is some info
I load this module in httpd.conf
LoadModule auth_basic_module modules/mod_auth_basic.so

and in svnserv.conf i have
[general]
anon-access=read
auth-access=write

password-db=passwd
authz-db=authz

in the passwd file
[users]
harry=harry
sally=sally

what am I doing wrong or missign?

Ok, this isnt't technically an answer to the question you've asked, but you should try installing Visual SVN Server, which takes care of all of these headaches for you. Setting up an SVN server is much easier with this tool on Windows than it is to do by hand.

I tried that and it works, but the reason i'm trying to install the none visual is that I also want to understand it as I may install it on Linux at some point.

This really isn't the forum for this type of question. You'd be better of in #subversion on irc.freenode.net

+2 A:

I think the problem might be that you need to generate the password file using htpasswd. Storing unencrypted passwords isn't a good thing!

This is correct Apache assumes the password file is is created via htpasswd. Either reformat the password file or use the svn protocol with the built in svn server...

Note that this only applies if you're using HTTP Authentication with Apache - see the user guide for more info: http://svnbook.red-bean.com
