solved: post commit script doesn't execute

Hi all,

I just thought I'd share this solution since it took me 3 days to
figure out what the hell was wrong. I'm using FC 4 to host my svn and
bugzilla servers. When I added a line in the post commit hook that
calls a perl script, i was puzzled why nothing happened even if i
already provided the right absolute paths. what cought my attention
though, is that even perl scripts in my bugzilla folder didn't execute
as expected except when called manually.

It turns out that calls to perl scripts do not seem to execute when
they're located in /var/www. For example, in my post commit file
contains

/bin/touch /tmp/itsalive
/var/www/svn/somescript.pl
/bin/touch /tmp/itsreallyalive

The first line and third lines execute sucessfully, the second doesn't.

What I did was move the svn repositories from /var/www/svn to
/usr/local/svn and just update http.conf to point to that directory.

My problems are solved now and I am able to sleep soundly again. :-) I
hope this saves someone else from the headaches and sleepless nights i
went through.

Best regards,

Mark
