Thank you. It wound up being a permission issue. Post-commits are working
100%.
I am using this for web content authoring in an HA scenario for authoring --
the final solution is as follos:
Hardware load balancer pointing traffic of http://dav/ to SVN/Apache on
BoxA.
Web site served by both BoxA and BoxB, load balanced for HA.
On each commit, a post-commit on BoxA:
- asynchronously fires an svnsync sync http://dav-backup/ to Box B
(no commits are allowed to dav-backup url save the svnsync stuff)
- asynchronously fires an "svn update" to a working copy on Box A that
serves a web site
Post-commit hook on Box B (triggered by svnsync commits from Box A):
- same async "svn update" to working copies of on Box B (in practice,
working copy on Box B is updated less than 0.25 seconds after commit
to repo on BoxA)
- synchoronously does a dump file append to a back up dump file (hit
of appending is not taken by primary commits/user)
In a failure scenario, repoints traffic of http://dav/ to BoxB. One manual
step to change the revprops file on rev 0 on Box B, but other than that,
pretty seamless.
In restoration, run an svnadmin hotcopy to restore repo to Box A, repoint
http://dav/ to Box A, restore revprops:0, and everyone is on their happy way
again.
