Hello,
Good steps, It works for me.
But my question is, I have added one user to access my repos
but What I want is to set multiple users and each one will have access to different project in repos. so no one can touch the other directory.

can it be possible

Thanks a lot for the tutorial.Much of problem with the ubuntu community page was solved.That page mentions the changes to dav_svn.conf file without explaining the significance of each comment or tag in the file.
This is far more lucid and simple explanation.

I found if the apache2 user is different from your svn root user, you will have problem to write to the svn repo. Anyway, I have to do: sudo chown www-data:www-data -R /svnroot. FYI.

I was getting the Forbidden error, and when I added the ShowParentPath it worked, however I discovered you shouldn’t be using ParentPath if you did svnadmin create /svn. (Remove ShowParentPath if you added it.)
What I wanted was multiple repos within /var/svn so I did:
mkdir /var/svn
svnadmin create /var/svn/repo1
svnadmin create /var/svn/repo2
then with SVNParentPath set to /var/svn, I couldn’t access http://IP/svn but I could access http://IP/svn/repo1

So I think the problem is you are using SVNParentPath but have /svn as a repository itself rather than the parent directory of other repos.

Hope that helps.
