Sometimes you’ll see errors that look like this: svn_error: #21100 : svn_ra_local__split_URL: Unable to find valid repository (file:///path/to/repos) or svn_error: #21089 : REPORT request failed on /my-repos svn_error: #21089 : Berkeley DB error while opening environment for filesystem /path/to/repos: No such file or directory These sometimes mean that a repository administrator should run: db_recover -ve -h /path/to/repos/db Make sure you run this command as the user that owns and manages the database and not as root because running db_recover as root will leave root owned files in the db directory which cannot be opened by the non-root user that manages the database, which is typically your Apache process. Yes, we consider it a bug that db_recover needs to be run at all. We’re working on it, and volunteers are welcome :-).
