#11 Unable to create auth user file

[asha]

Hello,

In the "Administration" menu, when I click on "Create access files" and I validate by "Yes", I got the message error for auth user file as below:

Create Access Files
Result of auth user file: Create of auth user file not configured!
Result of access file: Access file successfully created!

The access file is creating properly, but not auth user file.
The auth user file declared during the installation is "/etc/svn/svn-passwd"

My SVN Access Manager version is 0.5.6.2,
It's installed on CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core)
PHP version: 5.4.16
MySQL version: 5.5.41-MariaDB

Can you help me please ?

Best regards,

Asha.

Hi Asha,

please check if you enabled the file creation.

$CONF['createAccessFile'] = 'YES';
$CONF['createUserFile'] = 'YES';

Yes, I have enabled the file creation.
My /etc/svn-access-manager/config.inc.php shows:
$CONF['createAccessFile'] = 'YES';
$CONF['createUserFile'] = 'YES';

[asha]

Installed once again.

My /etc/svn-access-manager/config.inc.php shows:
$CONF['createAccessFile'] = 'YES';
$CONF['createUserFile'] = 'YES';

Still the same problem exists.

Please post the whole config.inc.php file with removed passwords. Please look into the logs of your webserver if there are any errors logged.

PFA the config.inc.php file from /etc/svn-access-manager/
No errors in webserver.

Thanks,
Asha.

Tried the below steps and it worked!
1. Copied /etc/svn-access-manager/config.inc.php to /var/www/html/sam/config/
2. Renamed config.inc.php file to config.inc.php_old in /etc/svn-access-manager/ directory
3. Restarted Apache

Is this a proper solution or do you suggest any other configuration change in config.inc.php ?

Thanks,
Asha.

You can try if it works for you.

Do you have selinux enabled in enforcing mode?

Vou can try to add a command to $CONF['ViewvcApacheReload'] . Maybe you want to allow the apache user to restart with
sudo systemctl restart httpd

Don't forget to gefinde the sudo command for the apacher user.

Best

Hi Thomas, I am also facing this. On clicking Create Access files on left, I am getting this -

Create Access Files
Result of auth user file: Create of auth user file not configured!
Result of access file: Create of access file not configured!

my deployment location is /var/www/svnmanager (just using this location, without apache2 server) I am using nginx with fast cgi. inside /var/www/svnmanager/config.inc.php i have this -
$CONF['createAccessFile'] = 'YES';
$CONF['createUserFile'] = 'YES';

I also tried the steps mentioned by Asha above -
1. Copied /etc/svn-access-manager/config.inc.php to /var/www/html/sam/config/
2. Renamed config.inc.php file to config.inc.php_old in /etc/svn-access-manager/ directory
3. Restarted Apache

Even this is not helping. Please suggest.

My Bad, I had configured config file to be at different location. modified configurations at correct location & it started functioning well. Sorry to bother.

PS - A cup of coffee always works :)
