But I could browse without assigning any password but when I commit throws the same message. I even tried anon-access = write but didn't work!

Pretty annoyed that my Subversion repository has to be owned by Apache. I suppose the alternative is to set up an entirely seperate Apache instance running as a different user, or to just chmod 777 the repository, neither of which are great options either. The ending to this wasn't *too* happy. Afterwards, I discovered that both TortoiseSVN and AhnkSVN are pretty lousy clients, and they did some bizarro things. It took me an hour of fiddling to get my system to get its data in the repository in a useable condition AND actually recognize that it was checked in. First I had to bring it into SVN, and then create a seperate local WC tree, it was a mess. This is one area where IIS beats Apache in my mind, much more flexible on this stuff.

Yep. A "chown -R user:group directory" suffices in Linux. Another story with a 'happy ending'. Ah. permissions. Yep.
A “chown -R user:group directory” suffices in Linux.
Another story with a ‘happy ending’.
