403 Forbidden error using Subversion

Tags:

svn

I recently upgraded to Subversion 1.5, and now I cannot commit my code to the repository. I get an error message: "403 Forbidden in response to MKACTIVITY". I know the upgrade worked because my fellow developers are not getting this issue. What's going on?

Is forbidden by the server SVN?

The error 403 Forbidden indicates that you don't have enough permissions to write to the particular repository subtree. You can't solve the problem yourself and you should contact repository administrator or manager for assistance with this. The bottom line is you don't have enough permissions to perform the operation.

Answering my own question:

Apparently my SVN URL had the wrong case! A Google search turned up an article (no longer available online) that explained what was going on. My URL was of the form http://svn.foobar.com/foobar but the actual repository was called http://svn.foobar.com/fooBar.

I use TortoiseSVN, so the fix was to use the Relocate command to correct the path to the repository.

Hopefully this will help someone else.
