[chora] "Can't check path..."

[Eric]

Good afternoon...

New Chora user and fairly new Horde user... Horde is version 3.1.3 and 
Chora is version 2.0.1.  I am using it exclusively with Subversion 
repositories.

I searched the mailing list archives for a solution to my problem and was 
not able to find one.  There was a question on the topic from another user 
but I could not find an answer.

I installed and configured Chora per config/INSTALL, and set it up as the 
Horde admin user.

Now when I start it up as a regular user, the first thing I get is:

     svn: Can't check path '/root/.subversion': Permission denied

Chora is supposed to run as the apache user (right?), so how come it's 
looking for things in /root?
