The repository has been found. As I said in my previous mail your authz
file:

> 2) authz file
> [aliases]
> [groups]
> harry_and_sally = harry,sally
> [repository:/home/RKapur/repo4]
> @harry_and_sally = rw

only provides access to a repository called 'repository', it provides no
access to a repository called 'repo4'.

> It looks like when I used "svnadmin create /home/RKapur/repo4" then the directory permissions were not set correctly. It might be because of the user "rkapur" that I am logged in as. Is this correct? Do I have to login as "root"? If so then I have to ask our system admins. as I don't have "root" access. I also checked in other machine where we have older linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 9) -

You need to fix your authz file. Your layout is very confusing. You
have a repository on disk at the path /home/RKapur/repo4 and you are
providing authz rules for the path /home/RKapur/repo4 inside the
repository. It's not impossible for the path inside the repository to
be the same as the path to the repository but it is unconventional.
