Item is not readable

[TimBenninghoff]

SQL Source Control 0.3.2.2
Subversion 1.5.6 running as a Windows service
SSMS 10.0.2531.0

I've setup my repository as the default repository for Subversion. I created 2 folders within the repository, /Databases/<DBName> via TortoiseSVN.

When I try to create a new link for my database using the following URL:
svn://<servername>/Databases/<DBName>
I get the following error message:
Item is not readable

Any ideas?

We haven't seen this, but doing a quick Google search, it seems to be a permission thing with Subversion.

It looks like you need to add the following line to your authz file.
* = r

Please let us know if this doesn't work.

Thank you!
