The current config file that comes with Apache 2.2.0 has the owner already configured. Therefore, the instructions above are a bit outdated. svnadmin create <path to repository> chown -R www <path to repository> should now read: svnadmin create <path to repository> chown -R daemon <path to repository> And setting the User to www is no longer necessary. # User nobody User www ### Not necessary. Apache 2.2.0 already configured: User daemon The rest of this article is spot on, and I have found it amazingly useful.

  I agree that the article is a bit outdated. The chown -R www certainly is not necessary anymore. However, when I tried you suggestinon of using
  
  chown -R daemon <path to repository>
  
  I got a lot of "Operation not permitted" errors. Perhaps you meant something else?
