Mailing List Archive: Permission problem on the Subversion db directory

Hello,

I'm having problem from what it looks like with permission on the Subversion db directory. My repository is owned by the user 'svn' which is in the 'svn' group. The user 'apache' which my web server is running under is also a member of the 'svn' group. Here is the output of the resulting failure to access the timeline on this project...

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Is it possible that the group doesn't have sufficient perms for a directory
somewhere in that path? I note that the repos is in your mnt directory - it
isn't a network mount is it?

It is whispered that Jeff was heard, on or about 09/24/04 15:08 to say:
