Re: Re: Apache Error accessing Subversion

except that the command line version has a good work around for this issue --config-dir=..... which can be implemented with svn_config_ensure(config_dir, pool) I think it's a valid request. Regards Alan Richard Thomas wrote:

This isn't a bug but an environment issue. Do some googling for that error string and you will find a lot on the subject Basically Apache is started by root and assigned the proper user, When svn trys to run it ends up pulling roots enviromental variables including HOME which is /root One solution that I am not sure if it will work in with pecl svn, have only used it with the running svn through exec is to set your HOME value Try setting this using exec('HOME="/home/userx"'); Andy Czerwonka wrote:

I've got a PHP script being executed by Apache (www user) :

        <?php
            echo 'SVN Client is ' . svn_client_version();
            svn_auth_set_parameter(SVN_AUTH_PARAM_DEFAULT_USERNAME, "aczerwon");
        ?>

I'm getting an error on the second line (first on reports 1.4.0 correctly) saying: svn_auth_set_parameter(): svn error(s) occured\n13 (Permission denied) Can't open file '/root/.subversion/servers': Permission denied All other commands, svn_log() etc., generate the exact same error. This has got to be a common use case for the subversion extension. Can anyone point to what I'm doing wrong? openSUSE 10.2 Apache 2 Subversion 2.4 -andy
