path-based authorization, whitespace in foldername
Hi, I'm using svn-version 1.4.6, apache version 2.2.8 on an ubuntu 8.04 LTS. On the client side, mostly win xp with tortoisesvn. The setup is using https and path-based-authorization and everything was working fine. Users are separated into different groups, not everyone has access everywhere and on every repository. The situation at hand. In the authorization file dav_svn.authz: [myrepo:/] @G_everyone= @G_general_myrepo_group=rw [myrepo:/foobar] @G_special=rw This setup worked until foobar got renamed into foo bar. I want to give also the @G_special access to the folder foo bar. How do I specify a folder with whitespaces in its name? Tried single quotes, double quotes, %20 but to be honest it is irritating. Simply don't know truly how the modules and apache interact and work, therefore no clue how to specify the path in the auth-file. It must be something simple. I hope you can help me or point me to documentation that covers the necessary topics. Thank you in advance, Necati Mercan

You can avoid a world of scripting and software management pain by not doing this.
