repository not responding to anything
hi,
we're running subversion 1.0.9 on linux redhat 2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp.
spontaneously, our repository no longer responds (locally or remotely)
to svn or svnadmin... it just hangs. any ideas?
thanks,
aaron

Can you use the db_* programs to look into the database? Not to lecture
you about the use of berkeleyDB, you probably have better resources
about that than myself judging by your email domain name.
If you _can_ get into the DB, then it's obviously svn, but why I have no
idea. I guess you didn't find any bugs about this in the tracker, so
all that's left if you really want to solve this is to see where SVN
fails silently in r11084 - but that would be a lot of work.
Anyone else have any ideas?
Up, Ben just replied before I could finish a google search. Try his
instructions.

hi ben,
at one point i tried removing the db.lock, but i didn't touch it back.
removing and touch on db.lock did the trick, along with an 'svnadmin
recover'. the repository is back online!
thanks,
aaron

Something probably left a lock behind. Try this:
1. make sure all processes that could possibly be accessing the
repository are shut down (apache, svnserve, etc.)
2. back up the repository via 'cp -R'
3. rm repos/locks/db.lock
4. touch repos/locks/db.lock
5. svnadmin recover repos
6. make sure permissions/ownership are correct everywhere.
7. restart servers

the svn binaries exist and are functional against other repositories on
the same server:

No errors at all? Do the binaries exist? What is their timestamp,
could someone be messing around with them?
Can the binary get a help string (`svn {help, --version}` would be nice
to know) and what type/version are you using of the backend storage
(berkeleyDB or FSFS)?
What about using the file protocol on the local machine aka:
svn co file:///usr/your/svnrepo/project1
> are we doomed?
No, do you have a dump file you can move to another machine?
What has been upgraded lately? Did you build subversion as a static
binary or as a shared library (default)? If so have the shared
libraries been updated by someone/thing else? Has LDCONFIG been run
lately to update the shared libraries?
I'm tired, that's a lot of questions.

there are no errors in the httpd error log, and the repository is
inaccessible on the server itself (via svn and svnadmin).
are we doomed?

Is there anything appearing in the httpd error log file?
Have you also checked to see that you can access the repository on the
server itself using the svn client there?

hi frank,
here's our setup:
httpd makes our repository accessible via the WebDAV/DeltaV protocol...
so our httpd.conf loads mod_dav_svn.so and uses a Location directive for
handling requests. we access the repository remotely using svn
command-line, and browse it using a web browser.
all access is broken... no errors, no verbose... using 'svnadmin verify'
also hangs.
thoughts?
thanks,
aaron

Hmm...need more information. Any errors? how are you running it
(svn/apache/file). the more information you provide, the easier it is to
help...
*G* I was driving down the road in my car today, and it just stopped.
Any idea what could have caused that?? *G*
