Source control operation failed: svn: Can't set file '.svn\entries' read-write: Access is denied.

[Sébastien Filion <sf...@finrad.com>]

Hi,

Can anybody help me with this error that I get:
Source control operation failed: svn: Can't set file '.svn\entries' read-write: Access is denied.

It's a read write problem, but the user I used is admin of the machine.
Please help...


Thanks in advance, 
Sebas

There is a whole paragraph dedicated to filesystem permissions, the problems 
they can cause and the available workarounds in the book.

Also note that there might be several users involved: the OS's user, the 
Subversion user (defined by svnserve's or Apache's user database) and 
possibly the OS's user finally performing the operation (Apache and svnserve 
both usually run as a dedicated user). Which combination applies depends on 
the access method you used (file/svn/http[s]/svn+ssh) but you didn't tell us 
which that was.

Finally, some behaviour depends on the storage backend (FSFS/BDB) and the 
operating system.
