Re: Subversion is convinced it's commiting, nothing happens, no errors

I am trying to take an existing document root for a webserver, e.g.

/home/site.com/htdocs

And make it editable via Subversion so user A can check out for example the file /home/site.com/htdocs/index.php, make changes, and commit them which should modify /home/site.com/htdocs/index.php on the server. This doesn't seem as if it needs to be terribly complex but I must be missing something obvious.

Also, a programmer thought they were successfully doing this last night and made some revisions -- is there any way to tell exactly what they did from looking at the repository db or anything?

Could you keep it on-list, please, I may not be the only one able to
help you. Or better: I may be the one not able to help you; others
may.

I'm sorry, but you're not making sense to me. The medium e-mail
doesn't really lend itself for transmission of thought and context,
so, if you could start at the beginning and be *really* verbose, I may
start to get what's happening and why it's not and what you think is
happening.

bye,

Erik.
