I have made a little bit of progress but still in a corner. Here is
the error message that I get from logging the update-admin below:
Authentication realm: <http://site50:80> Subversion repository
Password for 'apache': Authentication realm: <http://site50:80>
Subversion repository
Username: svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/site50_repo/trunk'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/site50_repo/trunk': authorization failed
(http://site50)
So obviously I have a permissions problem, but using the post-commit,
why am I being asked for a password at all? I know I am missing
something here, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
My current post-commit script looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
LOG=/home/virtual/site50/fst/home/svn/repos/site50_repo/hooks/post-
commit.log
/home/virtual/site50/fst/home/svn/repos/site50_repo/hooks/update-
admin 2>$LOG 1>$LOG
My repos are owned by apache:apache and all files in the dev site are
owned by apache:apache.
