I have attempted to follow a howto http://www.bsdguides.org/guides/freebsd/misc/subversion.php to make all this happen. I miss read it and mixed up the multiple repositories instructions with the single repository directions. Good catch. > Next, I notice that /usr/home/svn/repos also contains a Subversion > working copy, indicated by the directories .svn/, trunk/, tags/ and > branches/.

I am using http://www.bsdguides.org/guides/freebsd/misc/subversion.php as a guide and miss read it, I deleted /usr/home/svn/repos and wrote a script which follows the directions from the site. I ran it and the repository looks clean and nothing is checked out in the midst of it. > > The reason you saw the message "error: Can't open file > '/usr/home/svn/repos/default/format': No such file or directory" was I continue to get the exact same error as I started with. Here is the full error msg from httpd-error.log: [Mon Nov 23 12:59:56 2009] [error] [client 192.168.2.100] (20014)Error string not specified yet: Can't open file '/usr/home/svn/repos/repos/format': No such file or directory [Mon Nov 23 12:59:56 2009] [error] [client 192.168.2.100] Could not fetch resource information.
