timed out waiting for server

Hi.

I'm using subversion-1.1.1-1.1 with Apache 2.0.52 on Linux.

When trying to commit from my PC, I got this error message:
-------
timed out waiting for server (http://www.myserver.com)
-------

I typed (40 minutes ago):
-----
[]# svnadmin verify /home/svn-repos/myproject/trunk
-----

But I'm still waiting... (no messages, but Apache runs ok)

Any suggestion to fix it? Thank you very much.

While this will certainly work, you should set the files/directories to the proper permissions and _not_ wordwriteable and executeable. Specifically, if your repo is served via apache only, the owner must be the user/group your apache runs under and the files/directories should be writeable for the owner only. 

You ran into a common problem. I guess you started svnadmin verify as root - you should run it as the user the repository belongs to.

Hi Ryan. Thank you very much for your answer.

There are already some repositories in the server. All of them work ok, except
'myproject'. As I mentioned, I did:
---
[]# svnadmin verify /home/svn-repos/myproject/trunk
---
but it doesn't return any response.

What I've done is:
-------
# svnadmin recover ~/myproject
------
and I've got this response:
-----
Repository lock acquired.
Please wait; recovering the repository may take some time...
Recovery completed.
The latest repos revision is 233.
-----------

However, I get this error when trying to access SVN from my client:
--------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<D:error xmlns:D="DAV:" xmlns:m="http://apache.org/dav/xmlns" xmlns:C="svn:">
<C:error/>
<m:human-readable errcode="160029">
Could not open the requested SVN filesystem
</m:human-readable>
</D:error>
---------

Any suggestion? Thank you very much.

I'm not sure, but Subversion 1.1.1 is very old. The current version  
is 1.4.2 and I recommend you upgrade.

You didn't say whether this problem just started happening (it was  
working before), or if this is the first time you've tried (it has  
never worked before). If the former, and you therefore have  
repository data already, it would of course be better to be able to  
verify the repository, and especially to make a dump of it, before  
upgrading. But if you're just setting up the repository for the first  
time right now, then don't delay; upgrade right away.
