Can't look at files in trac codebrowser: "Error: no such changeset"

Question

I have created a new svn repository

sudo svnadmin create /home/qhg4_svn

and then imported a project

svn import /home/jody/progs/QHG4 svn+ssh://jody@bigfoot/home/qhg4_svn/QHG4/trunk

I created a new trac environment (i had a environment with the same name previously, but have deleted it).

sudo  trac-admin /home/aim-bigfoot/QHG/TracQHG4 initenv

and added the repository

sudo  trac-admin /home/aim-bigfoot/QHG/TracQHG4 repository add test /home/qhg4_svn

then killed and restarted the trac daemon:

sudo  /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/tracd --daemonize --port=8000 /home/aim-bigfoot/QHG/TracQHG4

When i point my browser at '''http://my_server:8000/TracQHG4/browser/QHG4''' i can navigate down the directory hierarchy, but when i click an a file, i get the error message Error: No such changeset and below this No changeset 2 in the repository

How can i fix this problem?

Answer 1

For an immediate fix, add the following to the [repositories] section of trac.ini.

test.type = direct-svnfs

That will enable direct access without using a cache. In some case you will see page load performance problems and need to implement explicit synchronization.
