Can't Open File txn-current-lock – Tortoise/Subversion

Technorati Tags: Subversion

Today I had to restore a backed up repository. I backup our entire C:\Repository on our dev server and simply copy it back to restore it as the server had crashed (don’t ask me why..I was not involved nor was there an image to just take and restore).

Anyway, after I did, the repository version was perfect and up-to-date so we could carry on. One error I did get initially after starting to use the restored repository was this when I tried to check in a test change:

This simply happened because my C:\Repositories folder was set to read-only on our Server 2008 dev server. So, I simply removed that flag on the folder and it was fine and I was able to check in my code again.
