RE: Commit failed - Connection is read-only

Arghh - don't worry.

The answer is that svnserve defaults anonymous access to read-only as
configured in the conf/svnserve.cnf file in the Repository.

And I would have found this out sooner if I'd just done a Google search
instead of attempting to search the users-archive (which strangely returned
no results for "Connection is read-only").

Subject: Commit failed - Connection is read-only

Hi all,

I'm just trying to get SubVersion up and running as a prelude to a larger
technical investigtaion and I'm having trouble getting it to commit.

Both the SubVersion server (using svnserve) and the client are currently on
the same machine, which is running Windows 2000.

I have started the SubVersion server using:
>%SUBVERSION_HOME%\bin\svnserve -d -r \Tools\SubVersion\Repositories

And have
1) creating a repository using "svnadmin".
2) imported the initial files using "svn import".
2) added some new files using "svn add".
3) edited some existing files.

But when I attempt to commit my adds/edits I get:

>%SVN_HOME%\bin\svn commit --message "Some damn fool msg"
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Connection is read-only

Any pointers for what I expect is an obvious oversight on my part,
gratefully accepted.

William Ferguson
