SVN Error E175002 while checking out code from repository

Question

While trying to checkout code from a repository online I got the following error:

E175002: REPORT of '/repos/xxx/!svn/vcc/default'

I am trying to checkout the code from a remote computer.

Answer 1

After long research, I finally found a solution the solution was to put allow from all in the svn configuration on httpd.conf:

<Directory /repos>
...
allow from all
...
</Directory>

The svn checkout is working fine now

The above are for apache 2.2

if you use apache 2.4

<Directory /repos>
    ...
    require all granted
    ...
    </Directory>

Answer 2

In my case I had E175002 because of missing DNS records of Subversion server.

Answer 3

I had 2 issues:

a) The svn folder was not readable by apache user

b) Possibly the Directory was not setup correctly

In my example, SVN repository is installed under /home/svn.

1) chown apache.svn -R /home/svn

2) Modify subversion.conf:

<VirtualHost svn.xxx.com:443>
    ServerName svn.xxx.com
    DocumentRoot /home/svn/

  <Directory "/home/svn/">
        AllowOverride None
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        Options None
    </Directory>
