When i go to http://localhost/repo/myproject/ and enter password this information is displayed:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
<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>

This is my httpd-svn.conf:

<Location /repo>
      DAV svn
      SVNPath “/usr/local/repo”
  AuthType Basic

  AuthName "Subversion repository"

  AuthUserFile /etc/users

  Require valid-user

</Location>

$ ls -la
drwxr-xr-x   3 _www  wheel  102 Aug 11 22:22 repo

How can i solve this?

Have you created an SVN repository at that location with svnadmin create, and verified that the Apache user can read from it (ie, verify that it's running as _www)? – Shane Madden Aug 11 '11 at 21:47
Yes it should be correct. Apache should run over www and dir is www. when you type ls -la it's just shown as _www. I get the same error when I go to localhost/repo – Mikael Aug 11 '11 at 22:00
What's your DocumentRoot set to? Also, verify that the permissions for the www user have been applied to the items within repo. Also - make sure there's no validity issues with the repo; svnlook info /usr/local/repo. – Shane Madden Aug 11 '11 at 22:05
"$ svnlook info /usr/local/repo/myproject/ 2011-08-11 22:22:25 +0200 (Thu, 11 Aug 2011)" Yes everything has permisson www. What's your DocumentRoot set? - Don't know how do I check? – Mikael Aug 11 '11 at 22:15
Somewhere in the Apache config - if the httpd-svn.conf file defines a VirtualHost, it should be there, otherwise check in the main httpd.conf. – Shane Madden Aug 11 '11 at 22:18

Through troubleshooting in chat, we found these error logs: 

[Fri Aug 12 00:56:10 2011] [error] [client 192.168.1.2] (20014)Internal error: Can't open file '\xe2\x80\x9c/usr/local/repo\xe2\x80\x9d/format': No such file or directory

Which led us to the quotes in the config being those sneaky, pretty “” quotes, instead of config-friendly "" quotes. That did the trick!
