Trouble with Subversion

[JeffPritchard]

Hi,
I'm a newbie to sysadmin stuff. I recently used Webmin to install the code version control tool called subversion.

The install worked, and there is life from things like --version, etc. but I can't get past square one with subversion, which is doing a "create" to make a new code repository. I get:
svn: Repository creation failed
svn: Could not create top-level directory
svn: Can't create directory '/svn/depot': No such file or directory

I'm guessing it is some sort of a directory creation permission problem, but I'm clueless. Ideas?

thanks,
jp

Nevermind, I discovered that the installation had created an "svadmin" directory at the root of my server. I moved to there and re-did the create command and all is well.
