TortoiseSVN trunk checkout "Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to OPTIONS" error

Question

My problem is that every time I do some operation with an URL like the following one: https://nttt.dttt.com:8443/svn/nttt/Med/trunk I get

Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to OPTIONS".

The user and password I supplied was correct, so no problem there.

I don't know where the problem lies, I don't know if it is the server(on witch I don't have any control) or my Tortoise client.

Answer 1

This error can happen if you checkout a SVN repository with a different account. The account data is stored to disk, and the next time you want to commit to a repository SVN may use the wrong account. It could help to specify the right account in the console or terminal:

svn commit -m "my message" --username my_username --password my_password

Answer 2

I don't think it is TroitoiseSVN. The problem most likely is that you don't have access to full tree or all HTTP operations. Try accessing these URLs in your browser:

https://nttt.dttt.com:8443/svn/nttt

https://nttt.dttt.com:8443/svn/nttt/Med

https://nttt.dttt.com:8443/svn/nttt/Med/trunk

And see if you get any 403 errors. Otherwise you will need to talk to your system administrator to fix the rights.
