Problem accessing repos with Apache

Hi

I have installed Subversion on a server, and are trying to reach the 
repository through my network and Apache.
It works fine to connect to the repos through svnserve and svn+ssh.
It also works fine to woek with the repos locally.

If I write the following, on the server:
svn checkout file:///Data/Svn/repos/Linuxkurs Testdok01
I get a local copy of my Linuxkurs "directory" in Testdok01.

If I through the network write:
svn checkout https://192.168.0.10/svn/Linuxkurs/ Dokumentation/Linuxkurs
I get an answer:
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/Linuxkurs'
svn:
Could not open the requested SVN filesystem

This is my configuration in httpd.conf:
#Subversion Configuration
<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /Data/Svn/repos
</Location>

Apache run as:
User nobody
Group nobody
in httpd.conf.

The owner to the directory Svn, including subdirectories, is nobody with 
full permissions.

In the Apache error-log it says:
[Fri Nov 26 21:04:55 2004] [client 192.168.0.134] (20014)Error string not 
specified yet: Can't open file '/Data/Svn/repos/Linuxkurs/format': No such 
file or directory
[Fri Nov 26 21:04:55 2004] [error] [client 192.168.0.134] Could not fetch 
resource information. [500, #0]
[Fri Nov 26 21:04:55 2004] [error] [client 192.168.0.134] Could not open 
the requested SVN filesystem [500, #2]
[Fri Nov 26 21:04:55 2004] [error] [client 192.168.0.134] Could not open 
the requested SVN filesystem [500, #2]

I have searched for an answer to my problems with google and 
different forums, but it usually ends up with questions about permissions 
to repos and if I write the correct URI. I can't see that I'm doing 
anything wrong.

Can anyone please tell me what I have missed???

Posted by Henrik Vendelbo <hv...@bluprints.com>.
did you check the permissions on repository directories and files ?
* make sure that the Apache user has access
* consider making a common group for apache and svnserver
* if berkley repos make sure apache has write access on all files
* use sticky bits and group/user ID permissions to ensure that new files are
created correctly
* if you use selinux use chcon on repository
