Authentication with subversion and apache

[T Rai]

Hello Subversion with Apache experts,
I just installed Subversion1.6.6 and Apache2.2. I am not able to authenticate with the following configurations:

The conf/httpd.conf has the following lines:

    
<Location /svn/>
   DAV svn
   SVNParentPath c:/agia_svn/
   SVNListParentPath on
   AuthType Digest
   AuthName "Subversion repository"
   #AuthUserFile bin/apachesvnpasswd
   AuthUserFile c:/Apache2.2/bin/apachesvnpasswd
   Require valid-user
</Location>

And then I have created a file apachesvnpasswd as follows:

   
C:\Apache2.2\bin>htpasswd -cm apachesvnpasswd user1
New password: *****
Re-type new password: *****
Adding password for user user1

C:\Apache2.2\bin>htpasswd -m apachesvnpasswd user2
New password: *****
Re-type new password: *****
Adding password for user user2

Now when I access my repository like this:

http://localhost/svn/   

I get a dialog box for user name and password as expected. When I suppy user name and password it fails with this:

   
Authorization Required
This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.

 

Why can It not find out my user name and password just create as shown above? Anything wrong? Is there some more settings I need to do?
Thanks.

Resolved this issue by restarting the pc.
Thanks.

Thanks.

For future reference, you need to restart the apache service whenever you change the httpd.conf file or any file it includes. Restarting the PC works too of course, but it's overkill.
