RE: Post hook weirdness?

From: Rory Clark <rory_at_clarkzoo.org>

So here's what I did and this is how things went:
 
If I add the low privilege account to "Power Users" on the Repository
Machine and then do a commit on the Remote Client, the commit takes place
but the hook does not get executed.
 
If I add the low privilege account to "Administrators" on the Repository
Machine and then do a commit on the Remote Client, the commit happens and
the hook is executed.
 
If I keep the low privilege account in just the "Users" group on the
Repository Machine, log into the Repository Machine as the low privilege
account and do a commit on the Repository Machine, the commit happens and
the hook is executed.
 
While there is a permissions component to this problem and running SVNServe
under an admin account fixes the problem, I'd really not run SVNServe as an
administrator.
 
Any more thoughts?
 
Rory

Rory,
Have you tried logging into The Repository Machine as the lower privilege
user account and trying this ?
It might direct you to your problem.
Maybe permissions related for the directories for the VBS script and or log
files.

Summary of the problem:
I've written a script that sends e-mail during the post-commit hook and it
works, when I'm doing commits from the machine where the repository resides,
but it doesn't work from a remote machine. So this is likely a config issue
by my guesstimates.
 
More detail:

* The Repository Machine -

* OS: Windows Server 2003

* Subversion: v1.2.3

* Access: SVNServe

* Running under a lower privilege user account

* The Remote Client -

* OS: Windows Server 2003

* Subversion: v1.2.3 / TortoiseSVN: v1.3.1 (the command Subversion
client is not used directly)

* The Hook

* In the hooks directory of the repository, I have post-commit.cmd
with the following commands and makes the assumption that there is no
environment settings:
set REPOS="%1"
set REV="%2"

c:\WINNT\system32\cscript.exe
F:\SVNWorking\Development\Tools\email-commit.vbs %REPOS% %REV%
>f:\svnroot\norwescon\errFile.log

* The Problem In Action

* Prior to any commits, I delete the errFile.log from The Repository
Machine.

* On The Repository Machine...

* I modify a file and I commit it.

* errFile.log is created.

* E-mail is sent and delivered to the appropriate recipients

* Result: It works!

* On The Remote Client...

* I modify a file and I commit it.

* The errFile.log is not created on The Repository Machine.

* No e-mail is received and I can't find the e-mail in the mail server
logs.

* Result: It doesn't work.

Does anyone have any ideas as I'm at a loss at this point.
 
Thanks!
Rory
