unable to open an ra_local session
Hi
I tried to setup an subversion server but ran in to some problem, I read
the quick start and tried to run the commands there (after that I turnd
to the book, but didnt find anything)
first I created the folder where I would like to have my subversion
repos, and gave it the rights it needed.
after that I ran
: svnadmin create /home/andsa344/repos
this when fine = no error message
after that i wanted to include the files that I wanted into the repos so
I did
svn import /repos/filterVolume
file:///home/andsa344/repos_files/filterVolume/ -m "Initial import"
where home/andsa344/repos_files/filterVolume contains the files that I
want to and in to the repos tree (under the name filterVolume) but it is
here that I ran into problems
When I run this command I get the following error message:
svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
svn: Unable to open repository
'file:///home/andsa344/repos_files/filterVolume'
What am i doing wrong.
I am running subversion under debian
best regards
Anders

Hi
I go the exact same files as you in the repos dir.
the svn --version gives the following modules
ra_dav
ra_local (handles 'file' schema)
ra_svn
the permission is the correct on, this is my research computer and I
have full access on it (root) (even tried with 777 rights on the /repos
but it didnt change anything, also on the repos_files.
I tried to find something on google, but it came up nothing..
thanks for the help

Hmm... this is my output of ls for one of my repositories. All this
should be created after the `svnadmin create [path_to_repo_dir]`
command.
[nesscg@woman thesis]$ ls -la
total 36

You could try a `svn --version` and see if your binaries support the
"file://" protocol. I expect they will. Check permissions, but it's in
your home directory so I didn't think that would be a problem.
Other than that, I'm stumped. What has google said about your error?

Sorry I should have been more specific.
But for fun and learning, try this command, it should fail:
cd /home/andsa344/repos_files/filterVolume/
If it doesn't then you've moved your repository on me. ;)
This command below should import _all_ the directories and files
contained within /repos/
svn import /repos/ file:///home/andsa344/repos_files/ -m "Initial
import"
I think that should do it.

Your repository lives in /home/andsa344/repos, so all your 'svn'
commands will be relative to that path, such as:
svn ls file:///home/andsa344/repos/foo
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(file://[path_to_repository_on_disk]/[directories_in_svn])
svn mkdir file:///home/andsa344/repos/filterVolume
svn import /home/andsa344/repos_files/filterVolume
file:///home/andsa344/repos/filterVolume
I think what is getting confusing is you have your repo in 'repos' and
your files to be imported in 'repos_files'. Too many repos. ;)

Hi
Thanks for the quick reply,
I choose to go with you first sugestion, to run the import command from
/reps so
svn import /repos/ file:///home/andsa344/repos_files/filterVolume/ -m
"Initial import"
But I still get the same error
svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
svn: Unable to open reoisutiry
'file:///home/andsa344/repos_files/filterVolume'
in the directory /home/andsa344/repos_files/filterVolume is the files
that I want to import to the cvs server, and the /repos dir contains
conf, dav, db .... svn-commit.tmp

Anders,
You have a choice. You can either run the `import` command from /repos/
which will then create a subfolder to put all your filterVolume files in
- OR -
You can delete the repository you created in the first step.
Create a directory in /home/andsa344/repos/filterVolume/
Then create your repository in that directory.
Explanation:
-----------
You were trying to import data into a subversion folder that does not
exist yet. Feel free to look around in the current
/home/andsa344/repos You will see that there is no ./filterVolume
directory even after proper importing (unlike CVS) because it is all
stored in the database!
HTH,
Chris
