Hello SVN community, I am responsible for an SVN server that has been running without issue for over five years. The problem just started happening this morning out of the blue. I’ve got a fairly standard setup with apache (2.2.31), dav svn, and local passwd/authz files for authentication/access control. I can’t think of a single thing that has changed recently, so I’m at a complete loss as to how I might fix it.
The problem is when I add and commit a new directory, I get the following error: Commit failed (details follow): Changing directory '/Users/casey/Documents/repo/trunk/docroot/new-dir' is forbidden by the server Access to '/!svn/wrk/cfa651e5-5850-4325-a441-1b5f8f37b3ea/trunk/docroot/new-dir' forbidden Committing new or modified files works just fine. I can clone a directory with a new name and commit that. I can also commit deletes of directories. The problem is just with committing new directories. I have also tried logging in to the server via Terminal and committing new folders directly on the server filesystem itself, and that does in fact work, so I believe the issue is with apache. In an attempt to reduce possible permission issues, I tried updating my authz file to the following: [/] * = rw I have tried connecting with different clients, and they all receive the same error message. Running up against this issue that I can’t find an answer to, I created an account here hoping someone might have some insight. Being new and not knowing how this list works exactly, I would appreciate being CC’d on any replies. Thanks for the help. -Casey
