Apache HTTP Server may interpret backslashes as an "escape character" sequence, so forward slashes are used throughout the configuration files. Don't change them! > Could not open password file: C:/servername/share/path/SVN/htpasswd > (OS 3) The system cannot find the path specified. [client 198.xxx.xxx.xxx] The error means that there is no "htpasswd" file in repositories root directory. Did you create a user account in VisualSVN Server Manager? In case of storing repositories on a network share you need to grant Share and NTFS access to the computer account where VisualSVN Server is running or configure service to run as dedicated domain account. Regarding share setup, please check the KB article "Storing repositories on a network share": http://www.visualsvn.com/support/topic/00022/ -- With best regards, Pavel Lyalyakin VisualSVN Team -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "VisualSVN" group.
