SVN Could not open password file

Question

I installed VisualSVN Server and added 1 Repo as a test. When I try to Checkout on my local machine I get this error

Command: Checkout from ..../svn/testtt/trunk, revision HEAD, Fully recursive, Externals included  
Error: Unable to connect to a repository at URL  
Error:  '.../svn/testtt/trunk'  
Error: Unexpected server error 500 'Internal Server Error' on '/svn/testtt/trunk'

When I opened the log file I found this error

AH01620: Could not open password file: .../Repo/htpasswd
(OS 5) Access is denied.  
[client 53.248.242.196]

Although the htpasswd contains the user I've created.

The error is Access is denied., and it means that the account that runs the VisualSVNServer service (HTTP service) does not have permissions to the htpasswd file.

By default, VisualSVN Server services run under Network Service account, so you should ensure that it has all the necessary permissions to read and modify your repositories folder. See the article KB37: Permissions required to run VisualSVN Server for general information on the required permission configuration.
