SubversionException: ("Can't read file '/svn/BISC/format': End of file found", 70014)

[jaakanshorter@…]

How to Reproduce

While doing a GET operation on /wiki, Trac issued an internal error.

in /backups/svnbackups ( on old SVN server )

scp -r * jaakan@192.168.1.40:/home/jaakan/svn

on the trac' server rm -rf /var/www/svn/BISC_old mv /var/www/svn/BISC /var/www/svn/BISC_old mv /home/jaakan/svn/svn-12345 /var/www/svn/BISC sudo chown -R apache.apache BISC

redhat 4 x64 / svn 1.4.6

I didn't do " trac-admin BISC resync " because a lot of SVN files and folders went missing after I do this.

I'm not sure about the actual commands you ran, and on which directories, but this is definitely not the way to copy a Subversion repository from one machine to another.

See svnadmin dump and svnadmin load commands.

I didn't do " trac-admin BISC resync "

You should have.

because a lot of SVN files and folders went missing after I do this.

Not sure about what you mean by this (which files were "missing", …)

Please post a more detailed message to the MailingList as it is definitely an installation issue.
Before posting a support request to the MailingList, make sure that:

1. you use svnadmin dump and svnadmin load to copy your SVN repository
2. you run trac-admin resync with the new repository

I was copying a backup copy of an SVN repo. I removed and did it 3 times and the third time everything was ok. My guess is that the backup copy was bad some how.

in the first try the format size = 0 but it was there.
