Hi Daniel, I didn't get anywhere with the perl script. /usr/bin is definitely in the path and that is where svnlook is, and the SVNLOOK variable was already set... anyway I gave up and went for your alternative.
Firstly I must apologise as I stated revision 728 in my original email but it looks like this was on one of our experimental copies of the repository that we no longer have. I do still have a copy of the broken repository at revision 719. With that in mind, I ran this: grep -a '^type:' /path/to/repository/db/revs/719 type: file type: dir I also ran on the last working revision: grep -a '^type:' /path/to/repository/db/revs/718 type: file type: dir type: dir type: dir type: dir type: dir I note that your path had a /0/ after /revs/ but this appears to be empty. I think I have confirmed that our MPM is prefork: a2query -M prefork I hope this helps. Let me know if you need me to check anything else.
