RE: "Can't read directory" - what is the way out?

Hi Ricky,

If this is an intermittent problem then please disregard my email.

A quick inspection shows that /svn/netperf2/db/transactions/127-1.txn is
owned by www-data with no "w" access to "others/world".

> www:/svn# ls -ld /svn/netperf2/db/transactions/127-1.txn
> drwxr-sr-x 2 www-data www-data 4096 Aug 8 13:38
> /svn/netperf2/db/transactions/127-1.txn

I assume your apache webserver is owned by user apache.

If the above are correct then the problem is your apache user is unable
to write to 127-1.txn.

Thanks
Lakshman

Subject: "Can't read directory" - what is the way out?

I have another of my "commit seems to work, but client reports errors"
problems. This time I "know" (famous last words) it isn't the
commit_hook script gong belly-up trying to send email since I've
disabled that. The server is using:

www:/svn# svn --version
svn, version 1.4.2 (r22196)
    compiled Nov 10 2006, 11:26:11

access is via Apache 2.mumble:

www:/svn# apache2ctl -v
Server version: Apache/2.2.3
Server built: Jun 10 2007 11:53:22

and web_dav module (IIRC)

The client:

raj@tardy:~/netperf2_trunk$ svn --version svn, version 1.4.2 (r22196)
    compiled Nov 10 2006, 17:39:50

gave me:

raj@tardy:~/netperf2_trunk$ svn commit -m "initial stab at measure CPU
but only confidence on result change > "
Sending src/netlib.c
Sending src/netsh.c
Sending src/netsh.h
Sending src/nettest_bsd.c
Transmitting file data ....svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: MERGE request failed on '/svn/netperf2/trunk/src'
svn: Can't read directory '/svn/netperf2/db/transactions/127-1.txn':
Partial results are valid but processing is incomplete

There is indeed an /svn/netperf2/db/transactions/127-1.txn directory:

www:/svn# ls -ld /svn/netperf2/db/transactions/127-1.txn
drwxr-sr-x 2 www-data www-data 4096 Aug 8 13:38
/svn/netperf2/db/transactions/127-1.txn

with the contents:

www:/svn# ls -l /svn/netperf2/db/transactions/127-1.txn
total 20
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 1776 Aug 8 13:38 node.1f.0.children
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 181 Aug 8 13:38 node.8.u
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 178 Aug 8 13:38 node.i.y
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 174 Aug 8 13:38 node.j.z
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 189 Aug 8 13:38 node.k.10
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 0 Aug 8 13:38 props

I did poke around a bit in the FAQ, perhaps not deep enough to find an
answer, hence this posting.

thanks,
