Subject: windows: svnserve as a service won't launch

Hi,

Up to yesterday, we had this configuration (working fine):

- server1: subversion 1.3.2 client + svnservice.exe, accessing the UNC path \\server11\path\to\repository<file:///\\server11\path\to\repository> running as domain user administrator

- server11: windows file share with FSFS repository

Then, after a reboot, the service suddenly refused to launch.

We've tried to troubleshoot by:

- Launching the svnserve command with identical parameters (except as daemon): works fine

- Rebooting the machine (hey, it's a windows box): no change

- Reinstalling the service (with various permutations on the parameters): no change

- Removing subversion 1.3 and svnservice.exe, and replacing it with subversion 1.5, installing svnserve as a service: no change

Right now we're sort of up a creek. As a temporary workaround I'm running svnserve from the command-line so the developers can keep working, but this isn't a great solution for the long term.

Anyone have any ideas on what might be wrong or how to troubleshoot this?

Thanks.

Met vriendelijke groet / With kind regards / Bien à vous
