TortoiseSVN Checkout Error Authorization failed

Getting an Error - Authorization failed message during checkout of project code from svn server using TortoiseSVN on windows computer

To resolve this, login to your linux svn server and make sure the svn server daemon process is running in the background - provide the path of svn repositories:

svnserve -d -r /home/svn

Check the config file under your repository configuration:

/home/svn/svnrepo/conf/svnserve.conf

Uncomment the password-db = passwd to use the password file authentication

for svn repository

Make sure the passwd file contains the username and password authentication

details of the repository

Checkout the repository again through TortoiseSVN

This time it will ask you for authentication and start working with at Revision

number.

Create a test file in the folder and commit your code back to svn for testing.

Works now.
