OPTIONS of ... could not connect to server

[Ben Kim <bk...@benix.tamu.edu>]

Hi 

Whenever I commit, I'm getting this message.

svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: OPTIONS of 'https://svn.example.com/repos/mysite': could not connect to server (https://svn.example.com)


Can anyone tell me where to look? Thanks.



I'm on CentOS 5.4, kernel 2.6.18-128.el5 #1 SMP

svn, version 1.6.12 (r955767) compiled Jun 22 2010, 11:47:19
neon-0.25.5-10.el5_4.1
neon-devel-0.25.5-10.el5_4.1

If I'm not mistaken, the OPTIONS request is the very first request
when svn tries to do something. The fact that it fails due to "could
not connect to server" indicates, I think, that there is a network
connectivity problem. Or maybe you're just using the wrong url.

Can you try to browse to that url with a web browser? It should
display the contents of the repository in that directory. (also, if
everything appears fine, and you can connect from a browser, there is
still the possibility of proxy settings messing things up (may be
different between your browser and your svn client)).

HTH,
