Re: Hooks don't work via Http-Access

Okay, you use the file:/// protocol and the hooks work. Either you are
signing in as the wwwrun user, or you have read/write permissions on the
files in your repository. Since the files in your repository are 755, I take
it you are signing in as user "wwwrun"?

I normally just use http or svn and never file. But, I've never had an issue
with hook scripts not executing.

Are your hook scripts installed in the hooks folder inside of your
repository? Are the names of the hooks the names needed by Subversion? You
can't use suffixes on your hook names. Could there be an issue with your
PATH variable?

Are all files in your repository with the same read/write permission and
owner? I normally set all files in my repository to 755 owned by (in this
case) wwwrun:www and that takes care of any problems with hooks and access.

Normally, hooks just work. Try this: At the beginning of the hook script,
put an output to STDERR, and then exit immediately with a non-zero error
status. For example, in Perl:

#! /usr/bin/env perl

# Start of my hook script:

print STDERR "DEBUG: I am in my pre-commit hook script!\n";
exit (2);

This will help determine whether or not your hook script is actually
executing,
