Re: SVN::Client problem under mp2

[Enno]

found the cause of the problem, apache 2.0.49 + mp 2.0.2 doesnt properly
change userid after start, eventhough effective userid is set properly,
the users homedir is still set to /root (under modperl)

svn::client tries to read a (useless) config file from ~/.subversion/
if it cant find it (ENOENT), its ok, but if it looks under /root, you'll
get a permission denied (EACCES), and svn libraries raise an exception.

now the weird problem, it works properly on a different box with an old
modperl (1.99_09), running on apache 2.0.54.

so I dont know if this is a problem with an older apache, or with a new
modperl2.

if anyone had similar problems with this (change effective userid), you
might be able to tell me if this is caused by apache or modperl.

thanks in advance.

  That's really not what you may intent and your os knows how to prevent

  another location.
 
   /srv/www/modules/testhandler.pm line 28
  

 yeah, but the it shouldnt even try to read that file... also, that
 path/file is not even present in the svn perl modules...

 so its gotta be somewhere in the C source, going to check that out
 tomorrow.

Has the user your apache is running in permissions to:
- directory
- file
?

No, ofcourse my apache does not have access to /root, it is why I wrote
the _simple_prompt provider. It should take care of that. which it does
from the cmdline, as I dont even have a ~/.subversion dir on the server in
question.
