can't create a new project successfully

[david bain]

So I go to the dashboard and select > "new project", give it a name and hit "create".

I get the following:

An error occurred while trying to create new project: Error while executing u'/home/cluemapper/cluemapper/bin/trac-admin /home/cluemapper/cluemapper/var/cluemapper/tracenvs/brandnew initenv brandnew sqlite:db/trac.db svn /home/cluemapper/cluemapper/var/cluemapper/svnrepos/brandnew'

What happens when you try running that exact command from the cmd-line ?

I tried another one then cut and pasted on the command line.

'/home/cluemapper/cluemapper/bin/trac-admin /home/cluemapper/cluemapper/var/cluemapper/tracenvs/my-project initenv my project sqlite:db/trac.db svn /home/cluemapper/cluemapper/var/cluemapper/svnrepos/my-project'

resolved.
phew! so I have cluemapper up and running for the new year.

I traced the problem to a different version of subversion installed /usr/local/bin

I eventually installed mine to /opt/bin to avoid conflicts with the system subversion (so at one point I had three versions floating around).

the command doesn't specify which 'svn' to use so it gets the first one in the path which was '/usr/local/bin' not the one that cluemapper's trac wanted.

I'm stilling unravelling everything that was causing the issue, but the big thing is that the subversion in /usr/local/bin was subversion 1.4.x while everywhere else I'm working with 1.3.x.
