I've problem with own svn repository.
It worked yesterday. But I've got an error when I was adding new file today:
svn: Repository moved temporarily to 'main'; please relocate
List of my actions:
/home/user/test# svn checkout https://website.biz/repo/siteweb.com
OK
/home/user/test/siteweb.com/trunk# touch 1.txt
OK
/home/user/test/siteweb.com/trunk# svn add 1.txt
/home/user/test/siteweb.com/trunk# svn -m "adding 1.txt " commit
Adding trunk/1.txt
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Repository moved temporarily to 'main'; please relocate
svn: Repository moved temporarily to 'main'; please relocate
What is this ?!
People, please help!
svn: Repository moved temporarily to 'something'; please relocate
Dears, it is a lame misconfiguration issue! You probably use dav_svn module to access your SVN repository. And there is global redirection on the ErrorDocument directive in your web server config. You should override this setting for the SVN repository section in the dav_svn config.
Edit the following file: /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf
Add the directive "ErrorDocument 404 default" between Location lines. It does the trick. My config can be an example for you:
<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNPath /var/svn-repos/svn
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion Repository"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd
Require valid-user
SSLRequireSSL
ErrorDocument 404 default
</Location>
And reload the web server config with the following command:
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload
According to this thread, there seems to be a pre-commit hook that sends this message (btw this is the first hit when I ask google for svn Repository moved temporarily to 'main').
Unless you added this hook (assuming you're the only administrator of https://website.biz/repo/siteweb.com), you might be in serious trouble...
On the other hand, it could also be an apache configuration issue. In that case, I assume that my linked thread will help you too.
This error might also be caused by a misconfigured client.
It happened to me because I had spaces, not commas, in http_proxy_exceptions
in ~/.subversion/servers
.
http_proxy_exceptions = *.foo.com *.bar.com
was incorrect, but
http_proxy_exceptions = *.foo.com, *.bar.com
worked. (The first form may have worked in the past.)
If you are getting this exception while fetching it from a client, either a command line client or tigris, it may be the url pattern. For example,
http://nhibernate.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/nhibernate will work if you replace viewvc with svnroot such as
https://nhibernate.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/nhibernate
I received this error when a proxy server was added
