It was suggested to me to send this to this email address, I am not sure if there is a online board for this, but here are some of the details that I am working with below.
Issue started after attempting to get SVN to use LDAP. I have rolled that part back and now this issue has occurred. I know of no network changes or DNS changes. the commits work to the Repos (all of them) this particular Repo has the post-commit hook to move the file to the web server. This is the first step to get the code to the SVN server into a build directory (next step will SSH it over to web server, not that, that matters since this is not working) I have attempted to add the proxy-host-name to both the /home/apache/.subversion/servers and /etc/subversion/servers files with no change. I was getting an error like: svn: warning: Can't open file '/home/apache/.subversion/servers': Permission denied svn: OPTIONS of 'http://svnServer/svn/MyREPO/trunk/wwwroot': could not connect to server (http://svnServer) but I remove the /home/apache/.subversion whole directory and I am getting the below. Any suggestions are welcome. IF more information is need that I may have overlooked that is relevant please let me know and I can include. svn, version 1.6.11 (r934486) compiled Apr 12 2012, 11:02:08 COMMIT code works, but post-commit does not. Here is my post commit code: echo "=============================" >> ${LOG} echo "${REPOS_NAME} r${REV} ${DATE} $(${SVN}look author -r ${REV} $REPOS)" >> ${LOG} ########################## ### DO INITIAL CHECKOUT ### ########################### if [ ! -e ${SVN_DEST} ]; then echo "directory ${SVN_DEST} does not exist creating." >> ${LOG} mkdir -vp ${SVN_DEST} >> ${LOG} /usr/bin/whoami >> ${LOG} echo "initial checkout: ${SVN} co --username ${USER} --password ${PASS} -q ${SVN_SRC}${SVN_DEST} " >> ${LOG} ${SVN} co --username ${USER} --password ${PASS} -q ${SVN_SRC} ${SVN_DEST} >> ${LOG} 2>&1 if [ ${?} != 0 ]; then echo "checkout: RETRYING" >> ${LOG} rm -rf ${SVN_DEST} ${SVN} co --username ${USER} --password ${PASS} -q ${SVN_SRC} ${SVN_DEST} >> ${LOG} 2>&1 if [ ${?} != 0 ]; then echo "checkout: FAILED -- FIXME" >> ${LOG} tail --lines=100 ${LOG} | mail -s "svn checkout: FAILED for ${REPOS_NAME} on ${DATE}" ${ADMINMAIL} > ${LOCKFILE} exit 1 Here is the output in my LOG file: ============================= <myRepo> r2503 2014-02-09 13:46:34 -0500 <myID> directory /var/svn/svntmp/<myRepo>/build/ does not exist creating. apache -- So this is user that SVN hooks are executed as initial checkout: /usr/bin/svn co --username apache --password ***** -q http://svnServer/<myREPO>/trunk/wwwroot/ /var/svn/svntmp/<myREPO>/build/ svn: OPTIONS of 'http://svn.bingham.lan/svn/empower-web/trunk/wwwroot': could not connect to server (http://svn.bingham.lan) "apache" is the name of the local user on the server that your HTTPd process is running as.
