Why do I get “svn: E120106: ra_serf: The server sent a truncated HTTP response body” error? [duplicate]

Question

I am using svn 1.8.9 and while checking out trunk code I am getting following error

svn: E120106: ra_serf: The server sent a truncated HTTP response body.

Because of above error I am not able to check out entire trunk code. Please suggest approach for resolving this.

Thanks

Answer 1

I had the same issue and since it is a big checkout but don't have access to extend the server timeout, solved it by issuing:

$ svn cleanup $ svn up 

Each time I got this error (until the checkout was complete).

Answer 2

This is apache server problem related to timeout (SVN client dont work as it's needed with huge number of big files). Put here on httpd.conf and do a restart of httpd, and problem will be resolved, without future needs to do cleanup and update:

Timeout 12000 KeepAlive On MaxKeepAliveRequests 100 KeepAliveTimeout 15
