File Permission?

Post by samw3 » Thu Jun 04, 2009 9:17 am

I'm trying to use DiffMerge with RapidSVN and I'm getting a file permission error. I feel like I'm going crazy here. It doesn't look like there are any permissions out of line. Can anyone please help?

Command line it uses :

/usr/bin/diffmerge --title1="Base" --title2="Mine" --title3="Theirs" --result="/Users/sam/Desktop/iPeacekeeper/mappygl.h" "/Users/sam/Desktop/iPeacekeeper/mappygl.h.r713" "/Users/sam/Desktop/iPeacekeeper/mappygl.h.mine" "/Users/sam/Desktop/iPeacekeeper/mappygl.h.r724"

Permissions of files :

-rwxr-xr-x 1 sam staff 2884 Jun 4 10:18 mappygl.h
-rwx------ 1 sam staff 2797 Jun 4 10:18 mappygl.h.mine
-rw-r--r-- 1 sam staff 2866 Jun 4 10:18 mappygl.h.r713
-rw-r--r-- 1 sam staff 2888 Jun 4 10:18 mappygl.h.r724

Executed Process Permissions :

sam 205 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?? Z 11:05AM 0:00.00 (DiffMerge)
sam 281 0.0 1.2 302412 12772 ?? S 11:16AM 0:00.48 /Applications/DiffMerge.app/Contents/MacOS/DiffMerge --nosplash --title1="Base" --title2="Mine" --title3="Theirs" --result="/Users/sam/Desktop/iPeacekeeper/mappygl.h" /Users/sam/Desktop/iPeacekeeper/mappygl.h.r713 /Users/sam/Desktop/iPeacekeeper/mappygl.h.mine /Users/sam/Desktop/iPeacekeeper/mappygl.h.r724

Thanks!!

What kind of permission changes have you tried?

I don't see anything obviously wrong either.

can you check that /usr/bin/diffmerge is 755.

can you check that /Applications/DiffMerge.app/Contents/MacOS/DiffMerge is 755, too.

can you open a terminal window and cd to the iPeacekeeper directory and
try typing the command directly (you can omit the titles) and see if it works.
(this might isolate if it is a problem in the diffmerge script or something in
RapidSVN.)

does RapidSVN run setuid to another user? (i wouldn't think so, but it never
hurts to ask.)

Sorry to be just randomly guessing, but I'm not sure what's happening.
Check the things I've mentioned and let me know.

We had to reload the forum db from a backup and lost a few messages
on this thread.

I believe that the last post before the loss indicated that the problem
was in RapidSVN. Please let me know if that is not the case or if you
need further help.
