Before creating repositories users and a group must be defined to have access to create or it will not work
so we add the group subversion and the user www-data which is what apache uses

sudo mkdir /var/svn-repos
sudo addgroup --gid 3003 subversion
sudo useradd -d /home/www-data/ -m -g subversion -u 2003 -c "svn user" -s /bin/bash www-data
sudo chown -R www-data:subversion /var/svn-repos/*

sudo chmod -R 750 /var/svn-repos/*
