	SVN Access Help by Jared Carlson :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Morning, I'm seeing a strange error for a user trying to access a SVN repos over Tortoise. So the user is running Windows, with Tortoise and trying to check out, and eventually check in. The repository is hosted on a linux server so they're svn+ssh:// etc.. When they attempt to check out the database they get: Berkeley DB error while opening environment for filesystem ... Permission denied I thought at first the issue might be user access to SVN so I looked at the svnserve.conf but that has auth-access: write, anom-access: read and as I'm learning it seems like it might be the conflict between the local repository and the server on the machine as Tortoise needs to talk to the SVN server... Any ideas? Thanks - Jared _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@... http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Check that the unix-user that the windows user is using for login credentials to the svn server has r/w permissions to the svn repo.

Make sure the user's account is a member of the right group (svnusers, maybe? Whatever you use on your machine) and that the svn directory structure has the right group permissions as well. Also make sure basic SSH works for this guy... -dsr- -- http://tao.merseine.nu/~dsr/eula.html is hereby incorporated by reference. You can't defend freedom by getting rid of it. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@... http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
