That is exactly the problem I am stuck with, but apparently nobody knows how
to fix the issue.

Subject: another apache permissions problem

I'm a complete svn newbie trying to setup access to a new repository through
Apache. Everything works just fine when I try to access the repository via
the file:// protocol, but I can't seem to get it to work with Apache. When
I try to connect to the svn repository via http, I get this error:

svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/MyProject'
svn:
Could not open the requested SVN filesystem

... or through a browser:

<m:human-readable errcode="13">
Could not open the requested SVN filesystem
</m:human-readable>

The Apache error log shows the following:

[Mon Dec 06 16:28:22 2004] [error] [client 192.168.254.119] (20014)Error
string not specified yet: Can't open file
'/data/svn/services/customers/MyProject/format'
: Permission denied
[Mon Dec 06 16:28:22 2004] [error] [client 192.168.254.119] Could not fetch
resource information. [500, #0]
[Mon Dec 06 16:28:22 2004] [error] [client 192.168.254.119] Could not open
the requested SVN filesystem [500, #13]
[Mon Dec 06 16:28:22 2004] [error] [client 192.168.254.119] Could not open
the requested SVN filesystem [500, #13]

The error doesn't make any sense to me because I set global write
permissions on the project directory in an attempt to ge this to work.
 ls -l on the project direcory:

total 56
drwxrwxrwx 2 root mygroup 4096 Dec 6 15:18 conf
drwxrwxrwx 2 root mygroup 4096 Dec 6 15:18 dav
drwxrwxrwx 2 root mygroup 4096 Dec 6 15:24 db
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root mygroup 2 Dec 6 15:18 format
drwxrwxrwx 2 root mygroup 4096 Dec 6 15:18 hooks
drwxrwxrwx 2 root mygroup 4096 Dec 6 15:18 locks
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root mygroup 379 Dec 6 15:18 README.txt

This is my http.conf entry (again, no permissions):

<Location /MyProject>
  DAV svn
  SVNPath /data/svn/services/customers/MyProject
</Location>

If anyone has an idea as to what the problem is, please let me know.

Thanks.
