The user running the apache must have r/w access to the directory on the
filesystem.
Your repository seems to be located
in /home/cpnadmin/cargopartnersnetwork.com/repos/ but the path of the virtual
host is /home/cpnadmin/cargopartnersnetwork.com/html/ and there. There is no
Alias for this. That meens Apache looks up your repository
in /home/cpnadmin/cargopartnersnetwork.com/html/svn/ but it isn't really
there.
