Dreamhost's response to a support ticket I opened about this: "Unfortunately we no longer support this workaround to run post-commit as your user. There were some security issues found (besides the obvious dangers of running setuid programs as your user) and the admins had to disable setuid for home directories. Sorry that this ended up breaking your post-commit. At this time the only solution I can offer is to change the post-commit to a cron job..." As of Feb 18, 2008, this trick no longer works.

I also host my blog on Dreamhost but after svn update I need to execute 'touch dispatch.fcgi' to tell Apache that files are changed. Nice article.

Your idea of making the c post-commit the actual hook object instead of some bash executable solved a problem that had caused me hours of trouble. Great blog, great work. Come have a free CD on me :) http://www.twelvestepstospace.com Peace! You absolutely decimated any other help on this topic.

It's been driving me crazy all day long. I use Dreamweaver as my host and have also attempted to follow the wiki directions - everything has failed. Though I am able to make commits and updates, the directory that the post-commit.script is pointed to does not get updated. (I have even changed the file permissions to 777) What the heck's going on?! Despite following your directions, I cannot get this to work! It’s been driving me crazy all day long.

I've spent the better part of the day fighting with this. This helped me to get the update of the site working, but I have finally given up on getting site update + update e-mail working together. The problem appears to be that an expected argument is getting overwritten when the new script is called, for example the repository path. The revision number is still there. I hard-coding the repository path into the script and this made it get a bit further, but then it was throwing up on the revision number for some reason, even though I have verified it is the right value. I think maybe the commit-email.pl script is expecting to have access to the command params or something, beyond the arguments provided. That's about as far as I'm gonna go on this. I think the optimal solution might actually involve coding the entire damned script in C as a part of the original set uid executable. :-/ This post was quite helpful.
