Redmine

I have the same error,

this is from the production.log

Processing RepositoriesController#show (for 109.175.43.48 at 2010-11-19 10:16:31) [GET]
  Parameters: {"action"=>"show", "id"=>"fmkw", "controller"=>"repositories"}
Error parsing svn output: undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass
Output was:

Rendering template within layouts/base
Completed in 63ms (View: 18, DB: 1) | 500 Internal Server Error [http://_my_url_/projects/fmkw/repository]

and this is error message I'm getting in the browser

The entry or revision was not found in the repository.

I have installed redmine on the shared hosting with cpanel. Repository tab used to work and now it's just not working.

I had the same problem today. Since I didn't know why it occured, I did this:

• Stop the server
• Delete (actually: rename) the production.log as it seemed quite large to me (> 3400MB)
• Start the server again

It seems like this has fixed the problem. Maybe even a restart would have helped, who knows...

I'm using Redmine 1.1.2.stable.5197 on Centos 5.5 (Final) running lighttpd in FastCGI mode.

I had the same problem.
I did some inspections in lib/redmine/scm adapters (mainly in subversion).
I found, that 'svn' command didn't return any output.
In error log of Redmine, there was a message: svn: Can't open file '/root/.subversion/servers': Permission denied

I found the message on: http://www.activecollab.com/forums/post/24715/

Then I modified the file:

subversion_adapter.rb

line 27:

1. SVN executable name
   SVN_BIN = "svn --config-dir /tmp "

to add --config-dir /tmp

and after lighttpd restart Repozitory browser for all project in my Redmine works again.

The result is:

If Redmine is running under lighttpd and FastCGI, svn binary is searching for subversion settings under /root directory.
Adding --config-dir pointed to some accessible place will solve the problem.
