Re: hook deployment script [trying svn up]

the error I am seeing when I run the script:
   
  SET out=//OurServer/D$/folder/WorkCopyonWebServer
   
  svn update %out%
   
  from another workstation I get the errors:
   
  Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
  Unable to open repository 'file:///D:/folder/therepository
  Can't open file D:\folder\therepository\format the device is not ready.
   
  I am not using Apache, and I have not connected my working copies by any other method than the file:/// method. I do have the svnserve service running and tried to see if I could connect with the svn: protocol but I couldn't get it to work.

  Hook scripts run with a nearly-empty environment and under the user
account that your server process runs under. So, you must be sure to
A) use full paths to executables, file locations, etc. and B) grant
access for that account to any resources which your script requires.
Do not count on mapped drives unless you map them in your hook script.

I don't recall if you told us how you're serving the repository. If
you're serving via Apache, it typically runs under the local system
account on Windows, so you'd have to give that account rights to that
UNC path. It would be a good idea to create a domain account with
limited rights to run Apache under in this case so that it can access
your UNC paths for updates and you don't have to mess with granting
server A's system account rights on server B..
