FW: can't create directory '/usr/local/svnrepos...'
I was struggling for a longest time with the following error message: svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: Can't create directory '/usr/local/svnrepos/db/transactions/1-1.txn': Permission denied I had SVN installed on RHEL4.I set ownership and permissions on SVN repository for apache user correctly and yet I was still getting permission error.
I was browsing Internet but coudn't find the solution of my problem. Then I accidently stumbled on the source of my problem:It was SELinux: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security-Enhanced_LinuxSELinux is enabled by default on RHEL4 and denies access for apache daemon to file system. Disabling SELinux removed my problem: echo 0 >/selinux/enforceSee http://www.crypt.gen.nz/selinux/disable_selinux.html for more information. Hope this information will save time and headache for other people. Regards,-Eugene LuzginConsultant at AtexSoft ( http://www.atexsoft.com )

How to set up your repository permissions correctly, including
allowing access when SELinux is enabled, is documented in the FAQ:
