DB Errors with Apache2 (not permissions?)
I have been using SVN for a short while now, but can't quite get Apache2
to play nice. It is a Debian system, with Apache running at www-data,
which is a member of the svn group. The Repos files and directories are
660 and all are in the svn group. Umask for users and for Apache are 002.
Sticky group bit set in repos. I can chmod -R 666 * in the repository,
but it doesn't help at all. I can checkout via Apache, but I get this
with I try to commit:
svn: APR does not understand this error code
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn:
failed to open activity db; check repos perms.
The apache logs show:
[Mon Nov 17 14:31:18 2003] [error] [client 136.182.2.221] Could not create
activity /svn/web/!svn/act/ac60077b-57cc-0310-8ca0-e59cc387cfcb. [500,
#0]
[Mon Nov 17 14:31:18 2003] [error] [client 136.182.2.221] could not open
dbm files. [500, #120022]
[Mon Nov 17 14:31:18 2003] [error] [client 136.182.2.221] (17)File exists:
failed to open activity db; check repos perms. [500, #120022]
What's up with the "file exists" error?
Thanks,
Russ

It's no big deal. DAV clients refer to repository transactions by
special "activity" uuids. The mini db file you moved is a mapping of
DAV activity-uuids to the actual names of the svn transactions. If we
had long-lived transactions, it would matter. But we don't.

This is a separate database. It's not the repository database living in
repos/db/, but rather a tiny private database used by mod_dav_svn,
living in repos/dav/. Go look in there for munged permissions.
