I believe the "Failed to start" message means that Apache is failing to fork a child process and is not getting as far as attempting to run the hook script. One possibility is this memory problem: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/subversion-dev/201211.mbox/%3c87bof1nqcn....@ntlworld.com%3E in which case the solution is to allocate some swap or reduce the cache size. Run "strace -f -p <NNN>" on the apache process and look for the clone() and execve() calls. That will confirm whether or not apache is forking and attempting to run the hook. -- Philip Martin | Subversion Committer WANdisco // *Non-Stop Data*
