Hey guys!

I have a dedicated server running windows 2003 server and Visual SVN Server 2.0.8.

I'm trying to configure it to send email notifications on commit. So I found this article on Visual SVN site.

It says I have to edit the Post-commit hook and set it to the following:

"%VISUALSVN_SERVER%\bin\VisualSVNServerHooks.exe" ^
commit-notification "%1" -r %2 ^
--from <from-email> --to <to-email> ^
--smtp-server <smtp-server>

Of course I've replaced the variables there.

The problem is when someone commits something, the svn client throws the following error:

post-commit hook failed (exit code 1) with no output.

The commit process runs with no problems, I mean it does commit the files. But it won't send any email notification. If I remove the post-commit hook, then I don't get the error (and of course I don't get any notification).

Could you help me out with it? The error doesn't tell too much =S

Thank you!
