title: svn unable to open an ra_local session
body: <p>I have set up my svn on my Linux server. I created a REPOSITORY with the following command: </p>
  
  <pre><code># svnadmin create /var/svn/REPOSITORY_NAME
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I set user access rights in this file: </p>
  
  <pre><code># vi /var/svn/REPOSITORY_NAME/conf/svnserve.conf
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Next, I uncomment the password-db line at line 20 and add user access</p>
  
  <pre><code># vi /var/svn/REPOSITORY_NAME/conf/passwd
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here I add username and password.</p>
  
  <p>Then I kill svn with command <code># killall svnserve</code>
  and restart it with command <code># svnserve -d -r /var/svn/</code></p>
  
  <p>Later when I access it with the command <code>svn co file:///var/www/html/easton</code>
  I get the following error: </p>
  
  <pre><code>svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
  svn: Unable to open repository 'file:///var/www/html/easton'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I fix this?</p>
