1.5.6 has a known security hole, consider upgrading.

When you put a repository on an NFS mount, it must be configured
properly for file locking. See
http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#nfs

Get *off* of RHEL 4. Seriously, it's no longer feasible to maintain
the current Subversion with that OS. Jump up to RHEL 6, which has
subversion-1.6.13, or at least update to RHEL 5 and use
Subversion-1.6.16 from the RPMforge repository. The Subversion-1.4.2
that comes with RHEL 4 is dangerously out of date and should not be
used in any production environment.

Hi
No, it does. I have run this command on linux (RHEL4) on local path. It
creates.
However, in this case, even if I mention the full path then also, it is
giving this error. Btw, the path is nfs mounted.
Regards,
Rajesh

Hi
I was trying to create a repository with this command.
svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs newrepo
But, it is giving error as follows.
svnadmin: Repository creation failed
svnadmin: Creating db lock file
svnadmin: Can't open file 'newrepo/locks/db.lock': Permission denied
My SVN version is 1.5.6.
The OS is Solaris 8
Anybody have any idea/resolution ?
Thanks in advance,
Rajesh

Hi,
According to 'Version Control with Subversion', chapter 5, section 'Creating and Configuration Your Repository', the command should resemble:
svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs /var/svn/repos
Where you specify the path to your repository in place of "/var/svn/repos". It does not understand your current location.
HTH,
John
