Re: Permission denied when import a project to subversion

Sometimes the stupid chmod and chown don't get into all of the
sub-directories. I know when I setup a server this past week I was having
all sorts of problems and that was one of the first ones I came across.

I'd verify that all of the folders & sub-folders are 755s for that group.
After that, if that doesn't work. Sometimes things are just goofy and you
can try to create a new repo and stuff.
