the trac.ini is in chmod 0777

Replying to frkiedav:

the trac.ini is in chmod 0777

What about the directory permissions (/home/subversion/trac/conf): the web server should have write permissions as well.

i have a nfs partition

drwxrwxrwx 2 java users 256 Sep 17 14:40 conf/

-rwxrwxrwx 1 java users 0 Sep 17 14:40 trac.ini

when i put my trac env in an other place, that's work.

Is it still inside a NFS partition?
Trac may have an issue with NFS partition, I don't know if anyone has already validated the trac.ini update with a NFS partition.

[anonymous]

I think that doesn't work.

Arf, i have do that to save my trac environement on an backup server.

So i do my backup with hand ;-)

As far as I can understand from last comment, it was the use of the remote NFS as filesystem that caused it. 'Worksforme' it is then.
