using svnadmin in a php script
- by fabjoa

Scenario:
Allow developers to submit new application packages to a market server. Developers run a bash script which contains a cURL call to market server (localhost/market/submit/$app-name). The submit script on the server creates a new folder in existing svn server with the name of the submitted app. Script on dev side waits for HTTP to issue a success message and then do a svn checkout in dev local machine.
Problem:
The submit script on the market server failed to create new svn directory through code:
echo `svnadmin mkdir -m 'added new package $package' http://localhost/market/packages/$package`;
this does not echo nothing and when I go on http://localhost/market/packages, the folder has not been added and the revision number has not been incremented.
I've tried from a terminal in market server
chown root:www-data /usr/bin/svnadmin
but still no luck. Somebody has come acrosss similar problem? Any solutions? Thanks!
