SVN projects folder structure

I am new to svn. I have installed SVN on Linux CentOS 6.3 machine. I have created few projects under SVN and the location is /var/www/svn/<MyRepos> ..

Now that we have to create few repos under one folder, so it should look like:

/var/www/svn/Common/ProjA/[trunk,branch,tags]
/var/www/svn/Common/ProjB/[trunk,branch,tags]
/var/www/svn/release/ProjA/[trunk,branch,tags]
/var/www/svn/release/ProjB/[trunk,branch,tags]

I created /common directory thru Linux mkdir and created /ProjA thru svnadmin create, which was successful, but when tried to access from browser, it was not able to connect. Is this is the correct way to do it? please advice.

Note: The files will be imported from cvs thru cvs2svn tool as we are doing the migration from CVS to SVN.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I have found the solution, I just had to create new location tag in the subversion.conf so as to create the above said structure.

You cannot manipulate a directory stucture in a Subversion repository using the standard shell commands mkdir, cp, mkdir, mv, etc. You must use a Subversion client and point it at the repository URL. The directory/file structure is not visible via the host filesystem - it can only be viewed and manipulated via the Subversion libraries.

Before you go any further, you must read the fine manual and gain an understanding of the basics of how the repository works and how to interact with it. You cannot just install it, throw a few shell commands around, and hope for the best.
