Have you tried the username you designated for Codestriker in your
apache configuration file? Maybe you can put that username in your
/etc/group file.=20
Thanks,

Subject: [Codestriker-user] rdiff failed -- permission problem
=20
On behalf of what user does the rdiff command run when using start and
end tags? Currently I have two different deployments. One of them
allows me to create a new topic using start and end tags. The other
does not, but I can't see any difference.=20
For the deployment that doesn't work, I can run rdiff from the command
line and it works fine. When I use codestriker, I get the following:
Problem generating topic text:
cvs rdiff: failed to create lock directory for
`/export/cvsroot/elvis/extreme/evpages'
(/var/lock/cvs/elvis/extreme/evpages/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
cvs rdiff: failed to obtain dir lock in repository
`/export/cvsroot/elvis/extreme/evpages'
cvs [rdiff aborted]: read lock failed - giving up
(Note that we have configured CVS to place locks outside the
repository.)
Since I can run rdiff as user X from the command line, I know that I
have permissions to do so. My theory is that when I create the topic
and Codestriker runs rdiff, it uses a different user and hence the
problem. I tried adding 'apache' to our /etc/group, which is how we
control who can write a lock to /var/lock/cvs. This did not help.=20
Any ideas about the user? Any other potential reasons this should fail
when it works on the command line? What else can I compare between the
two deployments besides the config files?
Thanks,
David
