Hi guys,
We are having some strange things go on when using SmartSVN.
SmartSVN
is creating its .smartsvn directory and files under a
'default' user
on our systems and it uses those .smartsvn files rather than
the ones
under our user profile sometimes. I'll try to explain and
hopefully
something will come out of it.
This is on Win2000, SP4.
Our company creates a user on every system named
'CompanyDefaultUser'.
'CompanyDefaultUser' is a hidden profile with read/write
privileges
to the account only available to someone with 'admin'
privileges. We
each have our own profile on a machine, say 'UserA'. We
always log on
and use SmartSVN as our user profile (i.e. UserA).
For some reason, SmartSVN 'sometimes' wants to write its
log file and
use the .xml files under the CompanyDefaultUser/.smartsvn
directory.
When we do a %USERPROFILE% to see what the profile is set
at, it is
always set properly (in our example, C:\Documents and
Settings\UserA).
Most of us used to stay logged on with 'admin' privileges
all of the
time, so it was never an issue, but now we are not supposed
to, so
SmartSVN will just refuse to start. Our theory is because
it is
trying to write its logfile to c:\Documents and
Settings\CompanyDefaultUser and can't because that user
doesn't have
write privileges to everyone.
We are at a loss of how to fix this. We tried to set the
DSmartsvn.applock=false so it wouldn't try to write the
lock file, but
that doesn't help because it is still trying to write the
log file.
In our research, we found the registry key:
My
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
It has a key 'DefaultUserProfile' which is set to
CompanyDefaultUser.
Is SmartSVN using this 'key' somewhere? I'm guessing
most folks run
with admin privileges or their default user is the user they
log on
with so this problem hasn't been prevelant, but for us, it
may render
SmartSVN unusable.
We have tried multiple scenarios of installing and
deinstalling as
UserA (with admin privileges and without). We've tried to
think up
every possible combination that could be causing this. We
can't find
any settings in the XML or .cfg file that we thought would
be causing
this issue.
Do you have any suggestions? If there is something we can
send you,
we'd be glad to.
My colleague is running the Foundation version. I am
running the pro
version.
Thanks!
Jonathan
