What do you mean it didn't work? It *did* work, the repository was
recovered.

Did it get 'stuck' again when you tried to access it? If so, it's
probably because you ran recovery as the root user, which messed up all
the permissions.

Have you read this FAQ?

    http://subversion.tigris.org/project_faq.html#permissions

If 'svnadmin recover' doesn't work, then use the catastrophic flag to
db_recover. ('db_recover -vec -h repos/db/'). Then make sure all the
permissions are set correctly before restarting apache. That is, make
sure apache has full read/write access to the whole repository (even
better if apache owns the repository) before starting it again. If the
repository has weird ownership or permissions, then the repository will
get 'stuck' again when apache tries to open it.
