[EMAIL PROTECTED] Re: Svn transaction failure due to wrong permissions on creation.

 A number of you have asked if I ever resolved the subversion
 permission problem as I reported it here:
 http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2005-09/0277.shtml

 After trying several versions of Apache and Subversion (from both RPM
 and source), I resorted to a complete OS upgrade.  Our admin upgraded
 from RHEL3 to RHEL4, updated the server's bios, and I reinstalled
 subversion and Apache from stock RHEL4 RPMS.  Now everything works
 fine.

 After many many many months of trying to figure out what was wrong,
 this shot in the dark appears to have fixed things.  Our subversion
 repository has been stable since we did this.

 I wish I could have identified the problem.  I wasn't the only person
 with the problem ( several people contacted me with the exact same
 problem wondering if I had fixed it ).  The problem did seem specific
 to a version of Linux and one guy was using Solaris, I believe.

Hello all,

I answer to this old mail because I was facing the same bug and I
found what was wrong.

Actually, in my case, this is neither a subversion nor an apache bug
but a php one. A php script was setting an umask without execution
rights (0111) and due to this bug, the apache process kept this umask
and when a subversion commit request tried to create a directory it
was unusable (0111 umask - no execution rights on created files).

This problem was solved by adding a ?php umask(0022); ? script in
auto_append_file directive of php.ini.

It seems that this bug will be fixed in next php5.1 release:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=36630

I hope this message could help someone thanks to mailing list archives!

Hello,

A number of you have asked if I ever resolved the subversion

For those people that e-mailed me, I apologize for the delay in
response.  Hopefully you found acceptable solutions to your problem as
well.  For those on the mailing lists that tried to help me, thank you
very much.  For those that still have this problem, and the time to
pursue it, I would encourage you to work with Apache and subversion
developers to attempt to identify the root of this problem.  I
realize, now, that it is probably neither an Apache or subversion bug.

Thank you,
-John
