Ubuntu + SVN: Could not open the requested SVN filesystem
luso@bender:/media/ssd/svn$ ls -larttotal 16drwx------ 7 luso luso 4096 2012-09-15 16:20 ..This is probably your problem - while the repository directories are accessible to the www-data user, their parent directory /media/ssd isn't. It and all its parent directories up the tree need at least world-execute permission (rwx--x--x or 711). The www-data user doesn't need to be allowed to read these directories but it does need to be able to descend into them (which is what the execute bit means for a directory).
