This usually means you haven't configured your web server properly for where your repositories are actually located on disk.

Above you said "some repositories", meaning more than one, but here, you've configured Apache to serve a single repository.

Is /data/svn/myproject a repository, or is it a directory containing multiple repositories? Or: where are your repositories on disk?

What is the URL that you're accessing?
