I am trying to use path-based -authorization. I have a working repository as follows:

   C:/SVNRepository/Test_Parent_folder/Test_child/test.txt

, that I need to restrict for user 'agupta'. My server URL is :

 http://ofsvn/repos/TEST_AG/TEST_AG_child/test.txt

In the authz file, I am trying to write :

  [/TEST_AG/TEST_AG_child/test.txt]
  agupta = r

I have also tried

  [repos:/TEST_AG/TEST_AG_child/test.txt]
  agupta = r

but it doesn't seem to be work as I can commit this file. I have already added 'authz-db = authz' to the svnserve.conf.

Can you please let me know what might be the reason that it doesn't work for me.

The URL is your question starts with http:// meaning that you use Apache server and the mod_dav_svn module to expose your repositories. However, you also say that you modify the svnserve.conf file. This file has nothing to do with the configuration of your current server! You need to configure Apache instead.

If you want to configure a server manually and use Apache HTTP Server. Read SVNBook | httpd, the Apache HTTP Server.

You can also consider installing VisualSVN Server - authentication and authorization as well as all other essential features all work out of the box and do not require manual setup.
