How do i know which program-user access a certain folder in linux debian?, basically a screwed my svn repo, basically cause i could not commit to it due to permission. got a
db/txn-current-lock': Permission denied error.
So i tried to fix it and screwed up again. because of emergency in the programing team, i gave 777 permission to all folder and change the user:group permission to root:root to all. Now i want to fix the setup like god commands. I want to create a a group which only people on these groups are able to use the svn, but i don´t know which user (program) access the repo.
Is it www-data ? or is it _svn:*:73:73:SVN Server:/var/empty:/usr/bin/false (this from /etc/passwwd) ? how do i check ? Thank you!
Answer
How do you serve the repo?
Is it through apache mod_svn? Then the directory/files have to be owned by the user under which apache runs (www-data usually).
Through SSH? Then you have to create a group that will own the files (but there were some problems with this setup, don't remember what).
Through svnserve? Then it must be owned by user under which svnserve runs.
