Severe Problem with one repo
Hi,
I am using Subversion 1.6.12 (r955767 on an Ubuntu server. SVN has been
up and running a long time and had very few, if any, problems. Last week I
needed to make for new repos. Three went just fine.
The fourth has been a problem. Here is a history of what happened and what
I did.
I used svnadmin and created the repo on the server.
Using TortoiseSVN I checked it out to my Win7 desktopy. I created
trunk,tags and branches folders and committed them to the repo. Then I
took all the production code from our ubuntu server and copied it into a
subdirectory named public inside the trunk directory. Everything went as
expected until this point.
Then I tried to commit all this code to the repo. It failed due to lack of
disk space. This turned out to be correct, I freed up disk space deleted
the repo directory and started the whole process again. This time when I
went to commit all the code I got a Cannot write to the prototype revision
file of transaction '1-5' becasuse a previous reperesntation is currently
being written by another process.
I again deleted everything restarted the server, restarted my desktop. It
still did not work.
I looked through the code I was trying to upload and found that at one
point it must have been part of some repo because in many subdirectories
there were .svn folders. On my desktop I deleted them all.
This time I deleted and restarted everything and even used different folder
and directory names, I still get an error. Commit failed
Cannot write to the prototype revision file fo the transaction '1-1'
becasuse a previous reperesntation is currently being written by another
process.
Where do I go from here?

libapr is a library, which is a mandatory dependency of svn, serf, and
httpd (at least). I figured one cause of your problems might be if the
httpd process pulls two copies of libapr --- one as a dependency to svn
and one as a dependency to itself or to some other module.
You can use 'ldd' or 'gdb' to detect dynamically-linked (shared)
libraries used by a binary or process.

OK.
I rebooted the entire linux server
I ran netstat -an and did not see libapr, what did I do wrong?
All are on the same file system and mount point.
And all the repos are accesible from https
As I said the files start to upload then it fails.
Thanks.

Does "restart" mean "apachectl -k restart", "reboot", or something else?
Do you happen to have multiple versions of libapr (ignore libapr-util)?
Are all repositories on the same filesystem and mount point? Is it
a local or network mount?

It did say by another process both times.

Asking because you repeated the "becasuse" and "reperesntation" typoes
twice, which indicates you copied the error message from your mail
rather than from your stderr.
