Hello,
I'm having the strangest problem with a number of our subversion
repositories all running one of our apache-linux server (askani).
Occasionally transactions fail with error messages similar to:
[Wed Aug 31 12:55:55 2005] [error] [client
192.189.224.121<http://192.189.224.121>]
Could not create activity
/svn/ResultsPlus/!svn/act/a24ba835-0155-2042-a734-13818c448007. [500, #0]
[Wed Aug 31 12:55:55 2005] [error] [client
192.189.224.121<http://192.189.224.121>]
could not begin a transaction [500, #13]
[Wed Aug 31 12:55:55 2005] [error] [client
192.189.224.121<http://192.189.224.121>]
Can't open file '/svnroot/repos/ResultsPlus/db/transactions/90-1.txn/node.0.0':
Permission denied [500, #13]
File permissions are set correctly. User and group is set to the apache user
and permissions are set such that user and group can read, write, and change
directories (rwX). In trying to diagnose the problem I even gave (everybody)
rwX permissions. Looking in the repos/db/transactions directory I can see
the start of a transaction:
repos$ ls -l ResultsPlus/db/transactions/
total 4
drw-rwSrw- 2 apache apache 4096 Aug 31 12:56 90-1.txn
**Sometimes** a props file exists within the transaction dir:
repos$ ls -l ResultsPlus/db/transactions/90-1.txn/
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root apache 0 Aug 31 12:56 props
Notice the owner/permissions of the the props file! That isn't right is it.
This problem doesn't happen all the time, but when it does the only way to
recover is to delete the transaction (e.g. 90-1.txn) and restart the apache
server.
I'm running RedHat Enterprise Linux 3.
repos$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 5)
I'm running apache 2:
Server Version: Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat)
Server Built: Feb 25 2005 09:35:45
API Version: 20020903:4
I'm running the latest prebuilt subversion libraries from
http://summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/subversion/latest/rhel-3/bin/:
rpm -qa | grep -i subversion
subversion-perl-1.2.1-1
subversion-devel-1.2.1-1
subversion-1.2.1-1
subversion-python-1.2.1-1
subversion-debuginfo-1.2.1-1
subversion-tools-1.2.1-1
(Note: I had the same problem with the 1.2.0 binaries, .. thought upgrading
would help..)
This server was running fine a for many weeks and I'm just now seeing the
problem so I suspect I've mis-configured something or some apache module is
causing flaky behavior. However, I can't seem to isolate the problem. I'm at
a loss and would really appreciate some help and/or advice.
Here are the apache modules installed:
