No, your don't need to make the parent directory a repository (and I would
avoid doing that). Here's kind of a script of what I did:
mkdir /usr/local/svn
svnadmin create /usr/local/svn/my-repo1
svnadmin create /usr/local/svn/my-repo2
svnadmin create /usr/local/svn/my-repo3
chown -R wwwrun:svn /usr/local/svn/*
This has worked fine for me. Did you make sure to set the permissions on your
repository?
Also, have you checked the apache error log at all? It usually has more
information about the error that occurred.
