Scenario:

Allow developers to submit new application packages to a market server. Developers run a bash script which contains a cURL call to market server (localhost/market/submit/$app-name). The submit script on the server creates a new folder in existing svn server with the name of the submitted app. Script on dev side waits for HTTP to issue a success message and then do a svn checkout in dev local machine.

Problem:

The submit script on the market server failed to create new svn directory through code:

echo `svnadmin mkdir -m 'added new package $package' http://localhost/market/packages/$package`;

this does not echo nothing and when I go on http://localhost/market/packages, the folder has not been added and the revision number has not been incremented.

I've tried from a terminal in market server

chown root:www-data /usr/bin/svnadmin

but still no luck. Somebody has come acrosss similar problem? Any solutions? Thanks!
