VisualSVN Server: Error after commit completed. SVN: Unable to create a name for D: \ websites \ mywebsite.com \ tempfile

Question

In VisualSVN Server, I use post-commit binding to move files from a directory in the Subversion repository to the corresponding directory in the file system. I get the error shown below.

Error:

Error after transaction (exit code 1) with exit: svn: cannot make a name for 'D: \ sites \ mywebsite.com \ temporary file'

I use TortoiseSVN to commit files. I can do it perfectly with other projects, I don’t see a file called tempfile in the directory structure of my local copy or repository, tried unsuccessfully to clean and update the commands. Any ideas? Thanks.

Answer 1

Turns out it was a permission issue. This is how I fixed it, so hopefully this will help others.

• Right-click the folder and select Properties
• Select the Security tab
• Add Network Service
• Check the boxes to allow changing, reading and executing, list of folder contents, read, write .

Answer 2

I had the same error, but from RubyMine (the problem could also happen in Intellij IDEA). The solution for me was to run RubyMine as an administrator (right-click on the icon and select "Run as administrator"). The problem is gone.
