Easy to install, difficult to configure

When selecting that AMI I was searching for an easy to use SVN software. The description looked good and the how-to on wiki as well. The installation and configuration at the Amazon Management Console went fine and I was happy running my first Subversion after a couple of minutes.
But than it become more difficult. Following the wiki description it was impossible to do the first import. Permissions to specific Subversion files like database or locking are set too low. After reading many articles and reseting the AMI multiple times I had to set the file permissions for the bitnami folder (including all repositories) to 777, what is not that secure, and it worked.
Maybe a more accurate wiki would be helpfull to that really usefull piece of software!
