Currently, I am not able to commit with the SVN user I added. I tried by manually editing the svnserve.conf and passwd files. I did the following - Added a line harry = harrysecret in passwd - Uncommented the line password-db = passwd in svnserve.conf - Added a system user harry with password = harrysecret as follows:-
useradd harry
passwd harry
I am using svn+ssh protocol and am able to checkout, update but, while committing I am getting error
Commit failed - Can't create directory 'path/to/repository/db/transactions/1852-1.txn' Permission denied
But, with root user I am able to commit.
I searched google to find commands and found the following:-
sudo htpasswd -m /etc/subversion/svn-auth-file sally
New password: *******
Re-type new password: *******
Adding password for user sally
(http://www.divvun.no/doc/infra/system/addsvn-users.html)
Did not work for me.

cd ~
mkdir .ssh
chmod 700 .ssh
touch .ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 600 .ssh/authorized_keys

- cd to the domain’s etc/ directory
- with any text editor, edit ‘svn-access.conf’ by adding a ‘permission line’ for ‘newuser’ to an existing repository (repositories are created in webmin)
- add a password for ‘newuser’ to the svn.basic.passwd file with bash$ htpasswd svn.basic.passwd newuser (it will prompt twice for the new password)
But, I do not have svn-access.conf in etc directory.
Please tell me sure shot ways to add users with all permissions. I need to instruct someone to do the same on a remote server.
Thanks,
