After migration from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS To Ubuntu 14.04 LTS my Apache SVN (mod dav_svn) behavior changed.
I began getting Not authorized to open root of edit operation when updating from the server on projects already checked out.
I have multiple repos with independent AuthzSVNAccessFile files, with some sharing the same AuthUserFile file.
Previously, on 12.04 LTS, all requests from a browser to the root of a repo (e.g. /Example1) would prompt the user to login.
I have seen suggestions have been to add * = r in the AuthzSVNAccessFile, which is not an option, as all users must be logged in, ie all repos required authentication.
I am looking to fix the 'Not authorized to open root of edit operation' error message on update.
