[WebSVN] svn export failed

[webpost]

Hello,

I installed Websvn on a Linux (SLES) server. On some repositories when I use the 'Download' function I get an error "svn export failed ...". Looking at the apache error log, it seems that the name of some files in the part to export contain extended characters (french one).

What could be the solution for this issue ?

Best regards

Could you try to execute the same svn export command using a the shell?
If this fails, please post the exact error message.
Depending on what the problem it might be possible to suggest a workaround.

Hello,

This is the error I got in the apache error log file :

svn: Can't convert string from 'UTF-8' to native encoding:
svn: /tmp/websvnqkj1ou/trunk.r56/02_studies/2_EBE-2010/Workshops/Infra - R?\195?\169seau, NSIE

I tried to do an svn export from the shell (modifying the LANG parameter) but did not get the same error. The only issue I have, when doing it manually, is a weird file name if the right LANG parameter is not selected.

Best regards

you need to set the locale to a reasonable value, so that the french characters can be converted (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.l10n.html).
Please try to set the locale appropriately by adding a line in setup.php below the existing line 328 (containing setlocate(...)):
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 'en_US.UTF-8');

Does this modification solve your problem?
