Re: Error message, plse help decipher it
Hi all,
Yes, we can actually checkout and update the repo. So I am not sure why we receive this message at the end of each update/checkout. Our repo is accessed through http,both via command line and TortoiseSVN, Here is our versions:
Ubuntu 6.10
Linux 2.6.17
Apache 2.0.55
Subversion 1.3.2
I looked on the svn manual, and couldnt find any reference to this error: PROPFIND So I am not sure what it means, other than it couldn't access the path. We did recently reconfigure the directory structure within subversion, so my guess is that is looking for the old path...but, wouldn't subversion know this?...
As mentioned, we can access and update as appropriate, but would like to fix it and resolve the error.
Help !

Please confirm: you can check out a working copy from this repository
right now and it works, but then immediately doing an update in that
new working copy fails with the above message? It shouldn't be,
because the message means it cannot find your repository on the
server's hard disk, but if the checkout worked, then it obviously
could find it.
You could help us more by telling us the version of Subversion on the
client and the server, the OS on the client and the server, the
repository access method, and, if you're using apache, the apache
configuration for the repository.

Could a bad svn:externals property cause this error? I vaguely remember
something like this in one of our projects that turned out to be misuse
of svn:externals.

I still haven't understood when exactly the problem occurs.
First you said it occurs during checkout and update: "during a recent
checkout and update, the following error occured"
Later in that same message you said checkout works but update
doesn't: "The complete repository was checked out and all files were
available, however, every time we try to Update, we keep getting this
error"
Now you say you can both checkout and update: "Yes, we can actually
checkout and update the repo"
And then in the next sentence you say checkout and update don't work:
"we receive this message at the end of each update/checkout"
And then at the end you say "we can access and update as appropriate"
which sounds again like update is working, though I don't know what
specifically you mean by "access".
So these various statements are rather contradictory and confusing.
Please show us the "svn checkout" command you run and the output it
produces. And also please show what happens when you then run "svn
update" on the same working copy.
Is the issue intermittent or does it happen all the time? To all your
users or just some? We need more information.
