Commit failed ... Access is denied
bodvar
Windows Server 2003. The users are using TortoiseSVN on XP SP2 or alt
SP3. The server is mapped as Q: with the users.
Everything works fine with my WCs, but I am having problems with
(some) users, as they cannot commit their changes. However, Checkout
is OK.
When committing there is approx. 10-15 sec. pause and then the commit
window comes up with the following messages:
Action Path
Command Commit
Error Commit failed (details follow):
Error Can't open file 'Q:\AVSEC\db\txn-current-lock': Access
is denied.
Finished!
The svnserve has the following:
[general]
anon-access = read
auth-access = write
password-db = passwd
# authz-db = authz (commented out)
realm = AVSEC # which is the name of the repository involved.
The passwd file has two names (not same as here):
1stUser = xxxx
2ndUser = yyyy
I tried to set the authz file like this:
[groups]
avsec = 1stUser,2ndUser
[repository:/AVSEC]
* = r
@avsec = rw
Even with all this, the SVN server does not ask for login name or
password, but goes right into trying to commit the files in question.
I was told, even if it is not in the documentation, that I would have
to add the user (or a group including him/her) to the Security
Properties of the repository folder. I find it dubious, since I would
have thought that it was the SVN that was accessing the files, not the
user as such.
1. What is wrong here?
2. Why does the SVN server not ask for the user name and password?
Thanks in advance for any clarification.

PS: The documentation might be bearing in mind less knowledgable
people than full-fledged UNIX/Linux administrators. Even my (M$-) IT
people have been scratching their heads over this. :-(

I'm not a windows admin so I'm confused - is it really possible to map
svnserve-served repository to a drive letter?
What's the URL of the repository? (Right click on the root of a WC,
"Properties", "Subversion" tab, "URL"). Also mentioning the versions
of TSVN and SVN in your reply might be useful.

Thanks for the input.
server URL to AVSEC repository: svn://qpulse/avsec
SVN 1.5.5
TortoiseSVN 1.6.1 (or at least mine is - his might be 1.6.2 have to
check tomorrow).
So, should I have checked the repos out using the URL, not the mapped
drive?
Best regards,
Bodvar

Yes (http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/faq.html#reponoserver).

The file:// thing was the problem. Changed it to svn:// and everything
worked like a charm. :-)
It must have been too long since I started the project until I set up
these users - I had simply forgotten about that this was the way I was
going to set it up, even though the file:// approach was not directly
forbidden, only not recommended.
