I’m having trouble setting up my svn. I used apt-get install subversion to install the software. The default svn folder was /home/svn/ I changed the ownership of the folder to an administrator account (not root) and a subversion user group I setup. I set the folder permissions to 0760 recursively through all the subfolders.
Yet whenever I try connecting to the repo I get this: “Commit failed (details follow):
Can’t open file ‘/home/svn/bftc/format’: Permission denied”.
I have no idea what’s wrong!
Make sure your user has execute permission on any folder. 770 should work for you (as Newton Falls pointed out) as this will allow group execute.
