Of course, the more relevant information would be: ls -ld /var /var/lib /var/lib/svn /var/lib/svn/bcm /var/lib/svn/bcm/db /var/lib/svn/bcm/db/txn-current-lock Even so, I'm assuming you already did that, and the perms are right. Does ubuntu use selinux? Or something else instead? What about ACL's? I know it's certainly possible in other OSes, for selinux to block apache from accessing something, even when the permission bits are set correctly. By default, apache writing to /var/lib would be a suspicious activity... Not sure if you installed these things from native packages (via apt or synaptics package manager) ... If you didn't install using the native packages, I would suggest you try. For this, and many other reasons.
