When accessing the repository via http, apache's user or group must have
write permission to the repository tree
Get the User and Group under which apache runs from the httpd.conf
file. We use svn and svn
run the following commands as root
cd /media
chown svn:svn Repositiories -R
chmod g+w Repositories -R
That should fix it up
