I'm trying to use svnsync. It works on one target server, but fails on another with very similar setup and I can't find what's different. The source server is the same in both cases so I guess it's setup is irrelevant.

Target server is: Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1, 64 bit

SVN is: VisualSVN Server 2.5.9 (tried also 2.5.7 and 2.5.8)

svnsync init fails:

E:\>svnsync init https://.../ https://.../
svnsync: E175002: DAV request failed; it's possible that the repository's pre-revprop-change hook either failed or is non-existent
svnsync: E175008: At least one property change failed; repository is unchanged
svnsync: E175002: Error setting property 'svn:sync-lock': Failed to start '.../hooks/pre-revprop-change.bat' hook

Hook exists and contains just 1 line:

E:\>type ...\hooks\pre-revprop-change.bat
exit 0

(the same hook works on another target server)

Looking at Event Viewer in Windows I see the following errors in VisualSVN Server log:

Failed to start '.../hooks/pre-revprop-change.bat' hook  [500, #165001]
[client 2002:f8d:64d6::f8d:64d6]

Can't start process '.../hooks/pre-revprop-change.bat': Invalid argument  [500, #22]
[client 2002:f8d:64d6::f8d:64d6]

Version of svnsync used:

E:\>which svnsync
D:\Program Files (x86)\VisualSVN Server\bin\svnsync.EXE

E:\>svnsync --version
svnsync, version 1.7.9 (r1462340)

  • 1. Did you test any other hooks (e.g. `pre-commit` or `post-commit`)? 2. Do they work or fail with the same error? What is the value of the global environment variable `%COMSPEC%` on the affected machine? 3. Under what account do you run VisualSVN Server service? 'Network Service' or a custom dedicated account? – bahrep Apr 12 '13 at 10:27

A reboot of destination server worked for me.
