Anonymous access to parts of the svn repository

Question

I've been looking online and at the other posts on SO to figure out how to add anonymous access to my svn repository but nothing seems to work. I have the svnaccess.conf file in the directory where my repository is and I have groups setup with read and write access to the project like this:

[groups]
admins = administrator
myproject= me

[/]
# give admins read/write access to all repositories
@admins = rw

[myproject:/]
@myproject= rw

This works fine for users who have read and write access. But i want to allow anonymous access to the project so anyone could have read access without having the login screen showup when trying to view the repository. A lot of the posts i've seen have involved adding * = r and anon-auth = read to the file but when i tried that it still shows the login screen. Am i doing something wrong?

Did you also add Satisfy Any in Apache conf?

Apache conf could be something like this:

 <Location /svn/>
   DAV svn
   AuthName "Subversion Repositories"
   AuthType Basic
   AuthBasicProvider file
   AuthUserFile "htpasswd"
   AuthzSVNAccessFile "authz"

   **Satisfy Any**
   Require valid-user
</Location>
