SVN "Can't open file '.../db/txn-current-lock': Permission denied" on import

It has been asked a lot of times here, and none of the answers have worked so far for me.

I'm getting the folowing error on apache error_log

could not begin a transaction  [500, #13]

Can't open file '/var/www/svn/repo/db/txn-current-lock': Permission denied  [500, #13]

when trying to do

svn import -m "Initial" /mnt/logs/ http://localhost/svn/repo/

Info on that file:

ls -l /var/www/repo/db/txn-current-lock

-rwxrwxrwx. 1 apache apache 0 abr 20 12:37 /var/www/svn/repo/db/txn-current-lock

I'm running on CentOS 7.2 and I can access http://localhost/svn/repo tho there's only this there:

repo - Revision 0: /

After fighting with permissions, I decided to just look again at the "howto" and solved the issue. I basically forgot to type:

chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t /var/www/svn/repo
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t /var/www/svn/repo

Hope it helps someone else.
