I have set up a Linux Server and installed Apache and SVN and dav_svn on it. Now, when I try to upload to https://x.x.x.x:x/svn/repo
with Tortoise SVN I get
Can't open file '/server/svn/repo/db/txn-current-lock': Permission denied
I have Set up my SSL correctly (I can checkout, no problems, even remotely due to Port Forwarding).
I'm guessing this has to do with the Linux Ownership of the Repository folders, How must I set this/ what are the commands?
I just had this problem
Hope this helps
I also had this problem recently, and it was the SELinux which caused it. I was trying to have the post-commit of subversion to notify Jenkins that the code has change so Jenkins would do a build and deploy to Nexus.
I had to do the following to get it to work.
1) First I checked if SELinux is enabled:
less /selinux/enforce
This will output 1 (for on) or 0 (for off)
2) Temporary disable SELinux:
echo 0 > /selinux/enforce
Now test see if it works now.
3) Enable SELinux:
echo 1 > /selinux/enforce
Change the policy for SELinux.
4) First view the current configuration:
/usr/sbin/getsebool -a | grep httpd
This will give you: httpd_can_network_connect --> off
5) Set this to on and your post-commit will work with SELinux:
/usr/sbin/setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect on
Now it should be working again.
It's permission problem. It is not "classic" read/write permissions of apache user, but selinux one.
Apache cannot write to files labeled as httpd_sys_content_t
they can be only read by apache.
You have 2 possibilities:
label svn repository files as httpd_sys_content_rw_t
:
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_rw_t /path/to/your/svn/repo
set selinux boolean httpd_unified --> on
setsebool -P httpd_unified=1
I prefer 2nd possibility. You can play also with other selinux booleans connected with httpd
:
getsebool -a | grep httpd
Try to disable SELinux by this command /usr/sbin/setenforce 0
. In my case it solved the problem.
for example on debian
sudo gpasswd -a svn-admin www-data
sudo chgrp -R www-data svn/
sudo chmod -R g=rwsx svn/
In addition to the repository permissions, the /tmp
directory must also be writeable by all users.
3 Steps you can follow
chmod -R 775 <repo path>
---> change permissions of repository
chown -R apache:apache <repo path>
---> change owner of svn repository
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t <repo path>
----> change SELinux security context of the svn repository
