Trac/SVN Post Commit Hook only partially working

[Christian Patzer]

I was running Trac/SVN on Windows 2008R2 and had this working.

I am currently running trac on Ubuntu 11.10. I ran a fresh install
today to attempt to fix this problem I'm having to no avail.

When I commit using Tortoise SVN the post commit hook successfully re-
syncs the repository and I can see my comments in the timeline.
However referencing a ticket does not add the comment to the ticket. I
have done hours and hours of troubleshooting on this and have found
nothing.

The trac.log doesn't show any errors ocuring either.

When I run from the command line as user 'ubersvn' I get the same
behavior. No errors, message in timeline but not referencing ticket :-
[

I have enabled the tracopt.ticket.commit_updater.* in the ini both
trying manually and through the web interface which explicitly sets
the commit updater. Still can't get it to work.

Anybody have any new ideas?

Thanks!

This is maybe relevant debug output:

But the commit message is not appended to the ticket.

I honestly thing it's a bug with Trac installation itself. Tired of pulling my hair out!

Okay,

     So, I have tracked this down to a permissions problem. If I run:

chmod -R o+rw /var/trac

The ticket gets updated successfully. One can easily see why I wouldn't want to do this.

My permissions are set up as follows.

Everything under /opt/ubersvn is set to group ubersvn and owner ubersvn

Everything under /var/trac is set to group www-data and owner www-data

The user ubersvn is a member of the www-data group so it has permission to write to the trac.db file /var/trac/sites/web/db/trac.db and it's directory. Thus the commit hook appears to work and refreshes the repository on the trac installation (i.e. I can see the commit message in the timeline)

Now, in my commit hook script I attempted to add some logging like this: /var/trac/sites/web changeset added "/opt/ubersvn/repositories/web" "refs #270" >> log.txt

I got a permissions error.

So I guess the question is what user needs permission to what in my trac installation to update the dang tickets OR which directory can I set to 777 to accomplish this instead of the whole /var/trac tree?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

I'm not a *nix user but it looks to me like there might be one of two issues: a) the www-data user (who is running the hook script) needs permission to /opt/ubersvn (i.e. add www-data to ubersvn group?) and you allowed only the other way round? ...and/or b) you need to consider where `log.txt` is going to end up, apache will run the hook with a very minimal (empty!) environment...
