Can't find a temporary directory error
Hi,
svn + apache setup suddenly stopped working. I checked in some files,
then I wanted to check in some others, but that failed with message
that one of the files was out of date. So I ran svn update, this
failed with this message:
svn: REPORT request failed on '/svn/webapp/!svn/vcc/default'
svn: Can't find a temporary directory: Error string not specified yet
Since then, every svn command contacting the server fails with the
above message. I'm still able to access the repositories using
filesystem URL.
Searching on the message gave me these possible solutions:
1. Check if there is enough space on /tmp partition
- there is
2. Check if /tmp and /var/tmp are writable by apache process
# ls -ld /tmp /var/tmp/
drwxrwxrwt 20 root root 8192 Mar 13 11:15 /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 3 root root 1024 Mar 13 04:03 /var/tmp/
3. Upgrade apr to at least 0.9.7-something
# rpm -qa |grep apr
libapr-util1-devel-1.2.8-3.1
libapr0-2.0.49-27.24.3.swsoft
libapr1-1.2.8-3.1
libapr1-devel-1.2.8-3.1
libapr-util1-1.2.8-3.1
So this did not help.
Server logs:
[error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] The state report gatherer could not be
created. [500, #20014]
[error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] Can't find a temporary directory: Error
string not specified yet [500, #20014]
Increasing apache's LogLevel did not increase verbosity. Is there any
svn specific setting? It would be really useful if svn was more
verbose.
Any suggestions on this matter?
Thanks, Marek

Hi,
What is the version of SVN client you are using? Is this compatible; I mean
to say ,same as your server? If not Please update!!
Regards,
Ashutosh

Fixed, the server computer had run out of space!

I'd just like to chime in and say I have the same problems as the OP since
I've upgraded from subversion 1.3.2 to subversion 1.4.2 (which included
upgrading apr* to 1.2.8 and neon to .25.5). It's like mod_dav_svn is
ignoring SVNParentPath for certain operations and going to DocumentRoot. I
can browse the repository using a web browser, but actually doing a svn co
fails with the same error Mareki reports. I'd be very happy if someone has a
solution for us.

I think, no error or something suspicious in the logs (LogLevel debug,
server fully stopped and restarted). I'm still able to do log and list

Except for bunch of info messages regarding ssl there are only these 2 errors:

To me it looks like apache is ignoring the svn configuration and is trying
to go straight to the file system. Maybe the dav module (or dav_svn) didn't
get loaded correctly?
Did you check the apache logs? Is there anything strange? Try doing a svn
operation while you're watching the logs with multitail or tail -f.
Try stopping and restarting apache (I mean *really* stopping and
restarting, not a quick restart): if your configuration is OK, that should
fix any problems that grew into the running apache, and if the
configuration is broken, you should get a meaningful error.

This is the list:
stat64("/wwwroot/htdocs/svn/app", 0xbfffe7dc) = -1
stat64("/wwwroot/htdocs/svn/app/!svn/vcc/default", 0xbfffe7dc) = -1
stat64("/wwwroot/htdocs/svn/app/!svn/bln/199", 0xbfffe7dc) = -1
stat64("/wwwroot/htdocs/svn/app/!svn/vcc/default", 0xbfffe7dc) = -1
first one is there more than once.

That "!svn/..." stuff is the URLs Subversion uses internally... It
seems odd to me that it would try to find such files on the hard
drive, anywhere, since there aren't any such files. Then again, I
haven't looked at the Subversion source code (and couldn't understand
it if I did) so I don't know what it's doing or what it's supposed to
be doing. Maybe someone else will know and reply.

Does it show what files svn attempts to open in /wwwroot/htdocs/svn/
app? Does that directory exist? If so, do those files exist?

I straced apache and found out something interesting.
SVN is setup to use www subdomain (ssl cert is issued to www.),
<Location> directives are used:
<Location /svn/app>
DAV svn
SVNPath /svnroot/app
SVNAutoversioning on
# auth stuff...
</Location>
Regular requests go to /wwwroot/htdocs
strace reveals svn tries to open files in /wwwroot/htdocs/svn/app,
ignoring SVNPath. It still finds db directory correctly in
/svnroot/app/db/current
Is this a bug or is my configuration missing something?
