Repository Replication

Hi,

I have found a few entries with the same problem but I haven't yet found any
answers as to what I might be doing wrong.

I am trying to set up a . I have followed the steps in he manual
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn-book.pdf (page 133) which includes
creating a mirror repository and editing the pre-revprop-change and
start-commit hook scripts.

But, when i run:

svnsync initialize http://svn.example.com/svn-mirror
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn --username syncuser --password syncpass

I wait for a few hours then receive an error. The error is:

svnsync: DAV request failed; it's possible that the repository's
pre-revprop-change hook either failed or is non-existent
svnsync: At least one property change failed; repository is unchanged

I have checked the pre-revprop-change hook script exists and there aren't
any typos or reasons that it shouldn't run (it is identical to the one in
the SVN manual) restarted Apache, checked the log files and ensured the user
exists. I am hitting a brick wall and running out of ideas on what I should
look at. Can anyone help?

Many Thanks,

Sam

Problem Fixed!

My user name syncuser did not have log on permissions to either of the
servers. I added syncuser as a user and gave them administrator permissions
and that seems to have fixed the problem.
