There's a lot of information that I don't have about your installation.
I didn't give you specific commands because I'm not sure about all the
ways to set up SVN.
I use a pretty simple setup. We access our repo via
"svn://IP.address/repo" through TortoiseSVN here.
On the server, the repo permissions look like this:
drwxr-sr-x 6 svn-owner svn-access 4.0K 2010-04-14 13:30 mainr
I don't recall what svn-owner or svn-access has to do with anything,
however, I can point out that they have nothing to do with login
credentials of any sort.
Within the repo, mainr, there is a config path that includes and authz
and svn_passwd file that are referred to in the svnserve.conf file:
[general]
anon-access = none
auth-access = write
password-db = svn_passwd
authz-db = authz
If 'murray' worked here, his name would appear in the file "svn_passwd"
and his group definition would be in "authz".
He would not have an account at all on the svn server.
I'm not certain that the +s switch is really needed, but if you wanted
to apply it to the entire repo, you would need to do so recursively:
chmod -R g+sx mainr

hi --
thanks for getting back so fast. :)
the .svn folder in the root of the repo did NOT have the "s" switch so
i ran this in the root of the repo. is this what you had in mind i
should try?
/chmod +s .svn
/
i did this because it's only within the .svn that there are
permissions issues when i commit.
or did i completely miss the point?
thanks again

This is just a guess, but I'm wondering if the subdirectories that
are created by the application are getting the same permissions as
the initial path. Do you have group set for +s? I think you need
that, or subdirectories can be created that don't carry the same
permissions as the parents...

hey guys
sorry to bring up (yet again) a permissions issue, but i've been
through the dox, followed the instructions, tried as much as i
can and now i think it's just me being stupid. i'm really hoping
someone here can help!
when i try to commit a file to my SVN repo, i get the following
error:
/Warning: 'post-commit' hook failed with error output:/
/svn: Can't open file
'/var/www/vhosts/mydomainname/httpdocs/.svn/tmp/entries':
Permission denied/
my SVN account we're using is "murray".
all files and folders on the server from httpdocs and lower are
owned by "murray" including the .svn folders and contents.
this to me means that we should have permissions to do whatever
we want, right?
obviously there's something i'm missing. can you tell me what?
thanks in advance guys,
sarah
