Can't import a project to my svn server.

[shockna1]

Why can't I import a project from netbeans to my svn server?
I get to the last step and I get this error "org.tigris.sub version.javahl. ClientException :*Can't*open*fi le*'/svn/db/txn-current-lock':*Permissi on*denied*MKACT IVITY*of*'/svn/!svn/act/a3054c5d-3801-0010-b7b8-8dc177af3385':* 500*Internal*Se rver*Error*(htt p://192.168.1.100)" is this because svn doesn't have permission to write to the /svn folder or something to that effect?

I figured out I had to do sudo chown -R www-dat:www-data but I accidentally did chmod instead lol
