SVN提交失败-访问被拒绝：500 Internal Server error

Question

I have recently moved my VisualSVN Server 2.5.2 to a new machine(from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2) in the same network moving the /Repositories directory from one machine to another (copy/paste).

I use Subversion from inside my JDeveloper installation 11.1.1.4 to keep track of my coding. The checkout functionality is working OK. When I try to commit something through JDeveloper I get the following error:

svn:Commit failled (details follow):
svn: Can't open file 'C:\Repositories\xxxxxxx\db\txn-current-lock': Access is denied.
svn: MKACTIVITY of '/svn/xxxxxxx/!svn/act/xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxx': 500 Internal Server Error(https://nameOfMyServer)

The commit is done using:

commit -m "" C:/JDeveloper/mywork/newRepo/xxxxx/xxxx/xxxx/Filename.java 

When i try to commit using TortoiseSVN (1.7.7 64bit) through a file System I get the following error :

Commit
Commit failed (details follow):
The POST request returned invalid XML in the response: XML parse error at line
 3: not well-formed (invalid token) (/svn/xxxxxxxxxxx/!svn/me)

The checkout also works fine using TortoiseSVN.

Please note that I have double-checked all permission in my repositories and the user I login as has all read/write privileges.

Answer 1

It seems that the VisualSVN Server service account ( 'Network Service' by default) lacks modify NTFS permissions to the repositories root folder ( 'C:\\Repositories' ) and it's childs.

You can also force the permissions through VisualSVN Server Manager.

See Permissions required to run VisualSVN Server

Answer 2

Solved.

Just Upgraded VisualSVNServer sosftware from 2.5.2 to 2.5.4 and now is working ok. I am not sure exactly what the problem was. I have not tested the solution provided by bahrep . It could well be also a solution.

Answer 3

This may be a PERMISSIONS issue. Grant 777 permission to your repository folder on server.
