buildbot: not building, instead shows a “?”

Question

I'm trying to use buildbot for CI purposes. I have setup a buildmaster and buildslave. And, they are both connected. (I'm attaching my master.cfg below)

I have the following problems:

a) I can see the changes committed on the Waterfall page, which means SVNPoller is working fine. However, none of the changes are getting built. I get a "?" on the buildbot page.

b) When I try to do a force build from http:// localhost:8010/builders, I get an error in the logs: [HTTPChannel,1,10.0.0.58] ..but not authorized

Change the following value:

forceBuild = True
