[SOLVED] Subversion + WebSVN (+ Apache): Forbidden Access

I'm having terrible trouble trying to set up subversion + websvn on my server. I've set this up a few times on previous installs but this time I've run into a few new problems.

My first issue: After following/using the subversion wiki, I pacman'd websvn and changed the permissions on the directory. Navigating to http://192.168.0.101/websvn, I get a Access forbidden! Error 403. In the past, I don't remember doing anything special when setting this up. This maybe my lack of understanding of Apache, but why is this happening (or rather, how can I fix this)? I have a few other directories set up in /srv/http that have the same permissions and don't get the 403 error.

My second issue: I can't do checkouts because of SSL connection error. It turns out for my particular set-up, I need SSL (even if it's not trusted). I have no idea what to ask to get this to work. Maybe, what do I need to do so that my svn/websvn is able to use SSL?

My third issue: When I do a checkout, my error is:

Could not open the requested SVN filesystem 

could this be a permission error? Otherwise, I'm not sure why this install is different from my previous. I've re-done the subversion wiki 3 times now, and I've encountered the same troubles each time.

Does anyone know or could help me understand what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.

I'm bad..  my .htacces file had

 deny from all 

And SVN wasn't working because I didn't load the SSL module.
