Re: Give us instructions to create a new repository with the branch
code of a old repository
Hi All
Need another help from you...
My repo1_new created successfully and everything is working fine. But when i
am trying to commit any changes to it, i am getting an error with
permissions
*Error:*
svn: Can't create directory
'/usr/local/repos/repo1_new/db/transactions/0-1.txn': Permission denied
I am a root user, but again i have checked the username and group using the
"id" command, it displayed root as gid and uid.
so i have executed the below commands from the repositories folder to give
the permissions
chown -R root:root repo1_new
chmod g+w repo1_new -R
The above commands executed successfully but no use, when i again tried to
commit changes the same error displayed.
I am not getting what the mistake i am doing.. plz help
