What version are you running?
- RBTools 0.4.1

What's the URL of the page containing the problem?
- NO

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I am using the repository as ClearCase. I set the repository 'path' as 'M:\Server_view3\testtestvob' in admin setting UI and this is the vob name on the server. 

2. There is no problem, if I test 'post-review' on 'server'(That is, if the path is the same with repository path). The result is as follows:
==============================================
M:\Server_view3\testtestvob>post-review.exe -o -d --server="http://reviewboard.com" --username="username" --password="password"
>>> RBTools 0.4.1
>>> Home = C:\Users\myID\AppData\Roaming
>>> HTTP GETting api/
>>> HTTP GETting http://reviewboard.com/api/info/
>>> Using the new web API
>>> HTTP GETting http://reviewboard.com/api/repositories/
>>> HTTP GETting http://reviewboard.com/api/repositories/1/
>>> HTTP GETting http://reviewboard.com/api/repositories/1/info/
>>> Attempting to create review request on M:\Server_view3\testtestvob for None
>>> HTTP POSTing to http://reviewboard.com/api/review-requests/: {'repository': u'M:\\Server_view3\\testtestvob'}
>>> Review request created
>>> Uploading diff, size: 871
>>> HTTP POSTing to http://reviewboard.com/api/review-requests/13/diffs/: {'basedir': u'M:\\Server_view3\\testtestvob'}
Review request #13 posted.

http://reviewboard.com/r/13/
==============================================

3. But, If I test post-review.exe on other PC(Client PC), The error happens, so the diff file isn't updated on reviewboard server.
=======================================
M:\Client_view2\testtestvob>post-review.exe -o -d --server="http://reviewboard.com"

I met the same problem. It seems apache process has no permission on clearcase files. If you had resolved this problem, could you tell me the detail of the resolution？

Hi,

  It looks like an Apache problem. Id o not know details of Apache default permissions under windows but you can try two things:
- Run whole Apache with appropriate credentials
- Run only Review Board (if you are using mod_wsgi) with appropriate credentials using  http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ConfigurationDirectives#WSGIDaemonProcess

What you should do is to create dedicated user which can read all necessery VOBs and views (read-only user is perfect choice) and spawn Apache or Review Board as this user.

It should be a problem of Apache.
you should run Apache on windows system with a right account with full access permissions.

"services" --> "logon" --> "use this account"(don't select "local system account").
and make sure that the account you input have full rights to access Clearcase VOB.
