Explaining svn / apache permissions error? (I know "how" but not "why")
- by Neil
I have the following error occurring on occasion when trying to do an svn switch (have it set up to do via a web request):
svn: Can't open file '/root/.subversion/servers': Permission denied
This happens after an apache httpd.conf change and corresponding restart.
How to fix this? I can get it to fix by doing an apache restart - BUT, it often takes multiple tries. Curious if anybody can explain this. Why did this error go away on my 8th apache restart, but not on the prior ones (with no edits to the conf file)?
Basically, I kind of have a "how" in terms of solving this, but I don't have a "why" . . .
Thanks!
