svn: Not authorized to open root of edit operation
So this was a new one for me. After I successfully imported a couple projects on a Windows XP subversion repository I received the error:
svn: Not authorized to open root of edit operation
After a little search on Google I determined the issue was that I didn’t have a
anon-access=none
line in my svnserve.conf file.
I’ve gotten the same problem in vista. And found here from google.
thank you!

Same here, I just googled in.
This line was / is not mentioned in the book I’m using.
tnx!

Ah! Thankyou for publishing this note, which Google found for me when I got exactly the same error!

Thanks! I was missing this too. Other pages suggested adding:
[/]
* = r
but I didn’t want my whole repository open to everyone.

Thank you very much for this tip.
Other resources tend to make the repository more open; your solution makes it more secure :) Nice.
And it works. I tried.

Fantastic :-P
I’m just wondering why the hell this line makes any difference…
I had:
anon-access = read
and it still didn’t work. As soon as I found this post I ran to put none… and VOILA… it worked!
Thanks one more time the valuable post.

Oh man, thank you very much for this. I remember I had this error a couple of years ago when I was using subversion for my college project and I spent a lot of time fixing it, but I did.
Now I’m starting up a project with my friend, so I naturally installed subversion and bang, here’s that error again. Of course I couldn’t remember what I did last time so I went for a Google search - this time it was waaay faster, thanks a lot!

Yes but, if you set * = r then any body can get the entry repository, and I need a full restriction, something like:
[/]
fefo = rw
pepito = rw

[...] Retried, carefully ensuring I typed it right, same error. So I googled around, and ran into this: Digital Sanctum Blog Archive svn: Not authorized to open root of edit operation [...]

This correct the comment I posted before…
Well, if you have
anon-access = read
in your svnserve.conf file, you must have
[/]
* = r
in your authz-db file
But if you have
anon-access = none <— I write read in the other comment
you don’t need the
* = r
in your authz-db file.
It runs on my svn, hope this solve your problems…
