Repo browser in svn “Repository moved permanently

Question

In the repo browser when I enter the svn root (http://servername/svn) directory I get this message "Repository moved permanently to 'http//....' please relocate

There are several projects in this repository and I can access/checkout/update each project but I can't even access the root.

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

In my case if was the wrong Proxy settings for Jenkins.

Answer 2

Check your Apache Configuration and remove/comment the ErrorDocument redirection. That's all.

Answer 3

Just in case this also helps anyone. I found this message can appear if you have a DocumentRoot defined in your vhost.

Answer 4

I have faced the same problem. Considering that you are not admin of the server, as I am not, I've used the svn switch --relocate command with success:

svn switch --relocate https://my.server.url/svn/projectname https://my.server.url/new.dictory/authscm/username/svn/projectname

Of course, these two URLs and their relative directories happened to be in my case, but in general lines this solution worked fine for me, i.e., using switch --relocate from the old to the new URL.

Answer 5

Make sure you have the locaction block specified correctly in your apache config file:

<Location /svn>

not

<Location /svn/>

Answer 6

I've had this with spaces in the SVN url and using Cornerstone. Using terminal svn checkout <url> did work instead.
