svnadmin create from php doesn't work on RH linux machine

["M. Verkerk" <m....@erasmusmc.nl>]

Dear all,

I have this php script which should create a new repository. From the 
script I execute the following, which doesn't work on this particular 
machine (redhat enterprise 4):

exec("svnadmin create /reposloc/repository");

But, dumping DOES work:

exec("svnadmin dump /reposloc/repository > /reposloc/output.dump");

I know this could be a php question, but anyway. I've made sure that:

- The home directory of apache is writable to the apache user (maybe for 
the .subversion directory)
- The repository location is writable to the apache user and the empty 
directory exists
- php is not running in safe mode
- the newest stable versions of php, apache and subversion are installed

Thanks in advance!

Marijn

<?php

exec('/opt/local/bin/svnadmin create /tmp/testrepository 2>&1', $out,  
$err);
echo "return value: $err<br />\n";
echo "output:<br />" . implode("<br />\n", $out);

?>

Works for me. (Mac OS X 10.4.1) Do you get any error output? My  
version above outputs STDERR to the page. Or, you could use your  
version and look in the Apache or PHP error log.
