sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl stop


2). Make sure permission are set correctly on the "db" directory:

cd /usr/local/svnRoot/smi-protege/db
sudo chown -R :svn-user .
sudo chmod -R g+w .


3). Run recovery process on the "smi-protege" repository:

cd /usr/local/svnRoot
/usr/local/subversion/bin/svnadmin recover smi-protege


4). Make sure permission are set correctly on the "db" directory (repeat step 2).

sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl start
