Re: post commit hook help

Well, it's all running under the Administrator account, and I've never
encountered any file permission issues before so I don't think that's
it. And using that sysinternals Process Monitor doesn't show any signs
of permission issues either.
This is really starting to drive me crazy. I can't possibly understand
why this is happening.
I do get a buffer overflow when Apache reads the file, but the whole
list is full of them on tons of files so that can't be it either.

-- 30 minutes of tinkering later ---

Ok, so I finally tried changing the hook to be a pre-commit, and 'lo and
behold, an error message!
It seems , for reasons unknown, that I was able to check out from the
password protected repository even though I did not specify a password.
This, however, did not work when apache tried to do it, thus was it
unable to checkout the data. As soon as I added a proper username and
password to the svn update it worked like a charm. Why checking out
without a password worked is beyond me (across multiple reboots and
service restarts), and so is why I didn't get an error message when
doing it as a post-commit.

Things really do move in mysterious ways.

Thanks for helping me out,
