svn: Authorization Failed
I am trying to get a hang of subversion and am trying to commit my working
copy to the repository. I am working on the comp that subversion and
svnserve are on and I have root access and all of that stuff. When I
checkout a working copy this is how it goes:
>>>svn checkout svn://localhost/root/svn/repos
>A repos/trunk
>A repos/trunk/svn_demo.cpp
>A repos/branches
>A repos/tags
Checked out revision 4.
All is well and fine and I go edit svn_demo.cpp and then when I go to commit
that to the repository this is what I get:
>>>svn commit -m "comment"
>svn: Authorization failed
The only time that I can actually commit something is when I checkout the
files using:
>>>svn checkout file:///root/svn/repos
I have given anon-users write permissions and I still get the problem.
Also I am trying to do the same thing but over a network so I do:
>>>svn checkout svn://**IP**/root/svn/repos
and it gives me all the files and such but when I go to commit my working
copy back into the repository I get the same error:
>svn: Authorization failed
I see absolutely no reason why it does this and I am really hoping someone
can help me with this. I need the repository running ASAP so I can get
started on a project at work.

I don't think the case-insensitivity is the problem as the path I type to
commit over the network (the commit that doesn't work) has the same case as
the path I type when working on the machine with subversion on it (the
commit that does work). Thanks anyway.

Hi,
It's probably not relevant in your case, but I frequently have such
issue with a windows repository, and per-directories access rights.
The problem was due to the case-(in)sensitivity: as any read operation
was granted without authentication, some people was doing their checkout
using a bad case-format (eg: "http://svnhost/svn/projectX/trunk"
instead of "http://svnhost/svn/projectx/trunk").
no problem for the checkout, the wrong url was properly mapped to a path
on the server... but committing was not possible, as the url was then
checked in a case-sensitive way...
regards,
Flo

Nevertheless, have you tried removing the file related to this server
in ~/.subversion/auth? That's still the only suggestion I can think of.
Please Reply All, so your reply goes to the list too, not just to me.

Subversion caches your authorization information in ~/.subversion/
auth; maybe an incorrect username/password got cached there for the
svn:// URL? Try removing the cache file for that server and retyping
your username and password when asked when you issue the next svn
command for that server.
