Running Hook Scripts when accessing repository with file:///

Hi All,

I've been having trouble getting a subversion post-commit hook to run at
all after performing a commit.

My set up is as follows:
- Running off Windows XP
- Developers access the repository using file:///O:/Repository (a shared
network drive)
        - ie. No Apache, SubVersion server.
- Have create post-commit.bat which sits in O:\Repository\hooks

post-commit.bat never seems to execute when we commit code!

I found a similar post from Casey who had a similar issue, does anyone
know whether hooks will work under a direct file-based subversion setup?

Thanks in advance!
Dave

 Doh, ignore that last message. I think I have found part of the
problem. This particular server is running on Windows without using
Apache or the mod_dav_svn module. Users access this repository by doing
file://rwsbuild01/ScottPlayground/

Does this change how hook scripts are called in any way? From what I
have read it shouldn't. What about the needed permission set? Is there
a generic log file generated that I can check to see what issue maybe
arising during the checking process?

I am thinking this is a permission problem on Windows, what services
need to have write/execute abilities?

SVNServe and the Apache2 services, since SVN is running under Apache?
Any others that I am missing?

I am bumping the owner of these services up to Admin and will slowly
remove rights to figure out the right set of permissions.

in you batch file make sure you are in the correct drive, like this
would be the very first line of code:

c:

(at least that works for us, but we stay on the same drive during the
whole post-commit)

i assume this must otherwise have something to do with security, has the
apache user write access to the specific directory ?

<OT>

dear all who responded on this original thread.

(assuming SVN version 1.3.1)
since you seem to have post-commits running on windows may I ask if you
could confirm that it is indeed possible to commit to the repository
without a wait for the post-commit to finish ?

for example, if you put a

   sleep 120

in your script, how long will a client's commit actual take.

we have been running these for a long time, but after upgrading to
series 1.3.* they simply doesn't work correctly anymore
