Hello all, I posted 1 week ago about a problem of access rights with apache and subversion. Today, I'm pretty sure it's an apache problem because I'm now facing the bug with another application. Summary: * From time to time some subversion transactions faild. The failure is due to a problem of access rights on the directory created to store the transaction. The directory is created with following rights: drw-rwSrw- tnx... Note: the 'S' means 'parent directory has setgid but you created a directory without execution rights'. It's a kind of error state. The problem is: execution rights on the directory are missing (so the directoy is not very useful). Today I discovered that another application on the same server have the same behaviour: * From time to time, this C program called by a php script (I know... but I'm not the one who wrote the code!) faild because it create a directory without execution rights. In both cases, the most low level routine called in C is mkdir with '0755' (sounds like good for a directory). mkdir man page tells us umask influence mkdir behaviour but since the problem is not systematic, I think there is a problem somewhere in apache. Note: * I'm running a x86 SMP box with RHEL3 and apache 2.0.48-16 RPM provided by subversion rpm packager here: http://the.earth.li/pub/subversion/summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/subversion/latest/rhel-3/bin/ * I cannot reproduce this bug on my test server with the same configuration. Someone can help me ? --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
