furstrated: repos/format permission denied error with apache
hi,
i googled and searched various archives. many people seemed to have
posted about this, but there are no solutions.
i just setup apache2.0 with mod_dav_svn and svn1.2
i configured apache by following the instructions according to the svn
online book at tigris.
i keep getting the error :
[Tue Jun 14 16:18:09 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (20014)Error
string not specified yet: Can't open file
'/var/svn/rep/mysource/format': Permission denied
in the apache logs, whenever i try to access the repository.
I have apache running as the user "svn" and my svn dir is owned by the
user and group "svn" The file permissions are fine.
I think the svn book has forgotten some critical info needed to
configure apache, because so many people have had this problem.
i'm running on redhat enterprise 4.0
thanks!

My 2 cents -
Make certain that the whole repository is read/writable by the user
running the Apache engine. If not, you won't be able to do anything.

Frank

Did you read this FAQ on the site about permissions and SELinux with
RHE?
http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#reposperms
Other than that check out Chapter 6 in the book. The link is given in
the text answer above.
Cheers,
Chris
