Hello: I posted this to the subversion list yesterday and have not received a reponse. I am hoping someone on this list will be able to help me. I have a CentOS 5 server running subversion 1.5.6-0.2.el5.rf installed using yum from the rpmforge repository. I am using svnsync to mirror from another repository to the local machine. It is called from a cron job every 5 minutes. After a few days of running fine, I started getting this error from cron: svnsync: DAV request failed; it's possible that the repository's pre-revprop-change hook either failed or is non-existent svnsync: At least one property change failed; repository is unchanged svnsync: Error setting property 'sync-lock': Failed to start '/usr/local/svn/MyProject/hooks/pre-revprop-change' hook Looking in /var/log/httpd/error_log, I see this: Could not execute PROPPATCH. [500, #206] Failed to start '/usr/local/svn/MyProject/hooks/pre-revprop-change' hook [500, #165001] Can't start process '/usr/local/svn/MyProject/hooks/pre-revprop-change': Cannot allocate memory [500, #12] Looking at top, the machine has allocated all of the RAM available. When I stop httpd, the RAM comes back. I rebooted the machine and ran top in a shell. I then issued the svnsync command in another shell. I can see the memory usage going up each time I run the svnsync command but it does not seem to come down even after leaving the machine idle for a while. If I then stop httpd, the memory comes back. It looks like svnsync is somehow causing apache to hog memory. Any ideas? Thanks, Neil -- Neil Aggarwal, (832)245-7314, www.JAMMConsulting.com Eliminate junk email and reclaim your inbox.
