Repo browser in svn "Repository moved permanently to... please relocate"

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

I'm assuming that you're not the server admin and that you're relatively new to svn...

You'll need to tell your working copies that the remote repo has moved (see the svn book for info on how to do this). You'll also need to use the new root for your remote repo browsing.

Answer 2

I got the same message because I had a double underline character within one folder name; e. g. SVNPath C:/xampp/my/path/to/the/repo/with/double/__underline/repo-folder

I removed them and it works (remember restarting the webserver)
