Error:access to '/svn/path/' forbidden - Not a case issue

I have a developer in another country who is accessing svn from there. Now we had an issue with the firewall, and he could not access the repository for a while. The firewall error should be fixed now, and it works again for others. This devs gets the error "Error:access to '/svn/path/lots-of-numbers' forbidden" though. When I tried to find the cause, I found this: link to similar case However, he sent me the repository link he uses, and it is all in lower case, just as it should be. The permissions are also correct, I just double checked them.

Could the problem lie in the firewall 开发者_如何学Pythonsomehow, or does anyone have another suggestion?

Figured it out some time ago, but I guess I should post this here too in case someone else has a similar issue. My problem was actually with permission settings. What I have now that works, are the exact same settings I had in the svn server previously, only now they are inherited from the root. Sooo...yeah. I have no idea why that actually made a difference.

I've had the same issue for a while and figured out what was wrong. I had a capital where I shouldn't have. My repository was svn/dave, but i had it in the URL as svn/Dave. It let me log in without any issues, but I couldn't actually do anything. Changing it to lower case cleared everything up.

I faced similar situation and I also had changed the permission in the server to inherit from the root.

My problem got solved after I issued the command svn update

Usually it is a practice that I always follow - I run svn status . and then svn update . before firing svn commit.

I skipped svn update this time and caught the error.

It looks like svn update does much more than just update the files.
