post-commit hook not working
hi!
my post-commit hook doesn't get executed!
here is my post-commit:
/usr/bin/svn export http://svnserver/testrepository
/var/www/html/testrepository
if I start it manually with
./post-commit
everything works fine, but If I do a commit with toroisesvn, I don't get
errors but the hook script is not fired.
any ideas how i can fix that, the permissions seem to be correct.
thanx a lot
andi a

I agree that the path stuff is not the problem in your case. However,
if the hook has a syntax error or other problem, you will not learn
about it unless you have explicitly programmed some logging into your
script. Any output produced by the post-commit hook, whether it be to
stdout or stderr, is discarded. The exit code of the post-commit hook
is also not used for anything. The only way to discover whether your
post-commit hook script is running is by putting strategically-placed
echo statements like "echo About to do the export... >> /tmp/
hook.log" within the script to see how far you get.

to 1: i used the templates in the hook directory. I copied
post-commit.tmpl to post-commit, then chmod +x. the strange thing is
that the start-commit gets fired.
to 2: the path stuff is not my problem. the script would produce an
error if there is something wrong with it, but it simply doesn't get
executed. is there a way to disable post-commit in subversion gernerally?

Hi:
1. Have you installed the hook in your repos/hook dir ?
2. From SVN manual: For security reasons, the Subversion repository
executes hook scripts with an empty environment-that is, no environment
variables are set at all, not even $PATH or %PATH%. Because of this, a lot
of administrators are baffled when their hook script runs fine by hand, but
doesn't work when run by Subversion. Be sure to explicitly set environment
variables in your hook and/or use absolute paths to programs.

Let me put it a different way. Subversion is executing your post-
commit script. It encounters the line quoted above, which is supposed
to export the repository to some directory. This act of connecting to
the repository to perform the export perhaps requires authentication?
Do you allow anyone to check out or export your repository, or must
one authenticate? If the latter, then the svn command within your
hook script is trying to start an export, your repository is
answering that it requires authentication, your hook script doesn't
know how to provide that to the repository, and so nothing happens.
When you start it manually on the command line, it's likely using
your cached credentials in your .subversion directory in your home
directory, so you don't see the problem there.
Another possibility is that the user under which Apache runs does not
have a home directory, or if it does, that it does not have
a .subversion directory, and that this may be required. So try making
it.

I don't think it can be an authentication issue becaue it doesn't make a
difference if I make a commit as root or as a valid svn user(apache does
the authentication for me). the strange thing is that for example a
start-commit hook gets executed.

Perhaps your repository requires authentication? If so, the hook
wouldn't know as whom to authenticate, and would fail. You can pass a
username and password to the svn command with the --username and --
password arguments.
