RE: Re: Updating a WC in the post-commit fails

Hi

I too am getting the same problem. I checked your reponse. Can you tell
me how to find which user is running the subversion archive?

Best Regards,
Nirmala

Remember that the post-commit hook runs as the user who is running the
Subversion archive. So, the best thing to do is log in as the Subversion
user, and then try to do an update and see if you get a prompt for a
password.

It could be that the Subversion server user's password changed. If this
happened, the Subversion user can't update this workspace.

However I can cd into the WC and do an update manually just fine.
