    <p>Currently we have on repository for multiple projects. I am restructuring this so we can have an SVN repository per project.</p> <p>I've been following <a href="http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/SubversionRepositoryDataTransfer.html" rel="noreferrer">http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/SubversionRepositoryDataTransfer.html</a> with success but have come into a problem.</p> <p>In the new repository I add my trunk, branches, and tags directory. I them attempt to move the files out of the root directory into the trunk directory. I'm able to successfully add those folders. The problem is when I try to move the files into the trunk directory. Specifically adding a file to the ./trunk level seems to fail the most:</p> <pre><code>Commit failed (details follow): Could not open the requested SVN filesystem Could not open the requested SVN filesystem </code></pre> <p>Looking at my apache logs I see this in the error file:</p> <pre><code>[Fri Aug 10 18:30:00 2012] [error] [client 173.0.0.1] (20014)Internal error: Can't open file '/var/www/vhosts/site.com/subdomains/repo/error_docs/format': No such file or directory [Fri Aug 10 18:30:00 2012] [error] [client 173.0.0.1] Could not fetch resource information.

That directory exists but it doesn't have anything named format.</p> <p>The permissions of my repo are the same as a working functional repo. So while it looks like a permissions error I dont' see where my setup fails</p> <pre><code>drwxr-xr-x 7 apache apache 4096 Aug 10 17:41 repo drwxr-xr-x 2 apache apache 4096 Aug 10 17:41 conf drwxr-xr-x 3 apache apache 4096 Aug 10 17:41 dav drwxr-sr-x 6 apache apache 4096 Aug 10 19:05 db -r--r--r-- 1 apache apache 2 Aug 10 17:41 format drwxr-xr-x 2 apache apache 4096 Aug 10 17:41 hooks drwxr-xr-x 2 apache apache 4096 Aug 10 17:41 locks -rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 229 Aug 10 17:41 README.txt </code></pre> <p>edit - 08/17, poking more at this issue. The current set up is:</p> <pre><code>/pickles.com/ /trunk /branches /tags pickles.com/ /app /config etc... </code></pre> <p>I'm attempting to place the code in trunk with svn mv pickles.com/pickles.com/* pickles.com/trunk.

So I wouldn't expect to be the problem. The only change is that ParentPath is on, and this is a directory of repositories instead of a single repository with many directories.</p> <p><strong>Edit - Apache is redirecting SVN to the error_docs directory</strong></p> <p>I updated the conf to act as a single repository.</p> <p>The original:</p> <pre><code>SVNParentPath /var/www/vhosts/publicsite.com/subdomains/svn2 SVNListParentPath on </code></pre> <p>To single format:</p> <pre><code>SVNPath /var/www/vhosts/publicsite.com/subdomains/svn2/pickles.com </code></pre> <p>And everything functioned as expected. Turning it back to SVNParentPath and we're back to the same old problems. Now I know it has something to do with MediaTemple, Plesk, and subdomain setup.</p> <p>To recap, the error I'm getting is:</p> <pre><code>Internal error: Can't open file '/var/www/vhosts/publicsite.com/subdomains/svn2/error_docs/format </code></pre> <p>I created a symlink in error_docs to ./subdomains/svn2/pickes.com/format and then the error became:</p> <p>Internal error: Error opening db lockfile</p> <p>This isn't a permissions error (at the level I've shown). This project has the same permission set and user as the one that worked on single-mode. Somewhere Apache is defaulting to the error_docs so SVN is looking for it's directories there instead of the url specified repository.</p> <p>I've checked every httpd file I've found and can't find a reference to how the domain should handle it's subdomains. </p>

    1. COI think this has to do with the SVN configuration for apache, not with permissions.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
