SCMError: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL

Hi all

I'm facing this strange problem. Hope some of you could lend some
help :-)

Review request was submitted successfully. But when I tried to view
diff, it gave me this error:

----------------
Unable to open an ra_local session to URL Unable to open repository
'file:///var/svn/cci-repos/cess/trunk/test.php' Can't open file '/var/
svn/cci-repos/cess/trunk/test.php/format': Permission denied

--------------------------------

Previously I was able to view diff. I checked repository settings in
Admin page. I deleted the corresponding repos record and added it
again. I even put in username and password. Still, no hope. My SVN is
running just fine since I could perform update from the cmd line.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Joseph.

To add on, I tried setting Debug to True, but no additional error
message was shown.

I realized I had to add 'apache' into my svn group. And it's working
now. But is this safe?
