Redmine

I have set up Redmine, Apache2, Subversion and Mongrel with automatic repository creation. I have created 2 projects. One private and one public. I have added the admin user from Redmine as a member of each project. I am on a VPS with cpanel. I access Redmine via a subdomain of http://redmine.mydomain.com. I access subversion via http://svn.mydomain.com.

I can go to http://svn.mydomain.com/PrivateProject and I am prompted for the user and pass. I enter my admin user and pass and I can see the repository. That seems to be working fine for both public and private projects (no pass needed for private projects). I can also browse the public projects from within Redmine without an issue. The one thing left that I can't do is browse the repository of a private project from within Redmine.

I setup Mongrel like so:

mongrel_rails cluster::configure -e production -p 3000 -N 2 -c /home/myuser/redmine
mongrel_rails cluster::start --clean

I run :

ruby /home/myuser/redmine/extra/svn/reposman.rb --redmine mydomain.com:3000 --svn-dir /home/myuser/svn --owner nobody --url http://svn.mydomain.com --verbose

Everything appears to be added correctly. One thing I do notice is that one I finally got it configured somewhat correctly that when I run this command and the repo is added in Redmine that the URL field in Settings is disabled now for the public project's repo. I assume this is normal. So then on my private repo the URL is not disabled. So it makes me think something is not correct on the private repo.

If I check my /home/myuser/redmine/log/mongrel3000.log I see this error:

Password for 'root': Authentication realm: <http://svn.mydomain.com:80> Redmine
Username: svn: OPTIONS of 'http://svn.mydomain.com/PrivateProject': authorization failed (http://svn.mydomain.com)

This error occurs every time I click the repository tab inside the private project of Redmine. Then the tab itself displays this error:

The entry or revision was not found in the repository.

Here is are my settings in httpd.conf:

<VirtualHost mydomainip:80>

        RedmineDbUser myuser_redmine
        RedmineDbPass mypass
    </Location>
    <Location /svn-private>
        DAV svn
        SVNParentPath "/home/myuser/svn" 
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all

        # only allow reading orders
        <Limit GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
        Allow from redmine.mydomain.com
        </Limit>
    </Location>
</VirtualHost>

Any ideas on what is causing this? I have banged hard to get this far and I just have one little hurdle left. I notice that in the mongrel3000.log error that it says "Password for 'root'" and that the Username: is blank. Where does this step get the user and pass info? Why is it asking for the root password and not the Redmine database pass or something?

On that note my svn directory is root:nobody and 0750. The apache user on by box is called nobody.

Hopefully, one of you will shed some light. Thanks in advance for reading this and helping!
