Pre-commit fails when executing 'svn ls'

["armando.perico.neto@usi.ch" <ar...@usi.ch>]

Hi,

I want to write a pre-commit hook which make some checks on the repository using "svn" commands. i.e.: svn ls... however, svn ls is failing to connect to localhost.

on my pre-commit file I have:
-----------------------------------------------
# I don't need the $REPOS value since this is just a test
svn ls http://localhost/svn/repo/ --username=X --password=Y --non-interactive
exit 0
-----------------------------------------------

The script works fine when I run it "manually" (even when I run it with the "apache" user)

example:
sudo -u apache env /var/www/svn/hooks/precommit (works ok)
su -s /bin/sh apache -c "/var/www/svn/hooks/precommit" (works ok)

however, when I run it with any "svn client" I get the following:
....
svn: OPTIONS of 'http://localhost/svn/repo/test.txt": could not connect to server (http://localhost)
....

I can't understand why it is failing. Would anybody have a suggestion ?


Thanks

Yes, it was the SELinux messing with my life again, it works now!
(it actually saved my afternoon, I was debugging it for a loog time already)

Since this is a test//prototype environment, I've turned the SELinux it off completely (is ok for me). However, it would be nice to know how to properly allow it with the SELinux ON). 
* I will look in to it as soon as I can and post here when I have something. (if someone has already the configurations pls put them here too)

Thanks a lot for the help!

SELInux or AppArmor may prevent communication as both work on binaries
I think, not on users, therefore your test would succeed. A lot of
people having issues like that if they try to send mails using httpd:
