how many instances of o are there in:
q: svn + apache - issue trying to access repo running ubuntu 14.06, apache 2.4.7 and subversion 1.8.8
here is my dav_svn.conf file
<location /svn>
  dav svn
  svnpath /opt/svn/production/
  authtype basic
  authname svntest
  authbasicprovider ldap
  authldapbinddn account here
  authldapbindpassword password here
  authldapurl ldap server here
  require valid-user
</location>

when i go to http://localhost/svn, i get this
<d:error xmlns:d=dav: xmlns:m=http://apache.org/dav/xmlns xmlns:c=svn:>
   <c:error/>
   <m:human-readable errcode=2>could not open the requested svn filesystem</m:human-readable>
</d:error>

in the /var/log/apache2/error.log folder, i see the following entries
mod_dav_svn: nested location /svn hinders access to  in svnpath location /svn

(20014)internal error: [client ipaddrhere] cant open file a path here that isnt anywhere/format: no such file or directory

on the /opt/svn/production/ folder i executed chown -r www-data:www-data * 
the weird thing is when i change the location from /svn to /production, and go to http://localhost/production, it works. normally i wouldnt care but the guy in charge of the project wants the url to be http://localhost/svn.
im pretty new when it comes to linux, coming from the microsoft land. so im sure im just missing something dead simple.

a: do you have only one repo on the server?
this type of error often cause the following settings
<location /svn>
  ...
  svnpath /opt/repos/svn
</location>

<location /svn/project1>
  ...
  svnpath /opt/repos/project1
</location>

so you should check all apache configs
i have been used the following template for last 5 years
<virtualhost *:80>
   servername svn.example.net
   documentroot /vhosts/svn.example.net/

   <directory /vhosts/svn.example.net/>
      options -indexes
      allowoverride none
      order allow,deny
      allow from all
   </directory>

   <location />
      authbasicprovider ldap
      authtype basic
      authzldapauthoritative on
      authname authorization required.
      authldapgroupattribute memberuid
      authldapgroupattributeisdn off
      authldapbinddn uid=ldap_reader,ou=system,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com
      authldapbindpassword 1234567
      authldapurl ldap://127.0.0.1/dc=example,dc=com?uid?sub
      require ldap-group cn=svn,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com
   </location>

   <location /repos/project1>
      dav svn
      svnreposname project1
      svnpath /svn/repos/project1
      svnindexxslt /svnindex.xsl
   </location>

   <location /repos/project2>
      dav svn
      svnreposname project2
      svnpath /svn/repos/project2
      svnindexxslt /svnindex.xsl
   </location>
</virtualhost>
