SVN error“access to '/svn/myservice/!svn/act/d99e498e-9a8d-374c-a3e4-fde21198bfa2' forbidden”

Question

I cannot commit but I can update.

When I attempt to commit I get the following error:

access to \'/svn/myservice/!svn/act/d99e498e-9a8d-374

Answer 1

In some case, the error "access to '/svn/myservice/!svn/act/d99e498e-9a8d-374c-a3e4-fde21198bfa2' forbidden"

should be caused by the letter case of url, for example, as the following Repo directory: E:\SVNRepo\MyService

if you get the SVN with url: http://..../svn/myservice , you can checkout/update, but the commit should cause the "forbidden" error.

Relocate local work folder to "http://..../svn/MyService" , every thing should be OK.

Answer 2

it can also happen with, when you checkout with a user, that does not have write permissions. With the cli provide --username with a user that has write permissions.

Answer 3

Update is a READ / PULL, Commit is a WRITE / PUSH.

I was using Linux with Apache and come to find out it was with the Repo breakdown in file used for the AuthzSVNAccessFile /x/x/x/x/users-access-file

FILE CONTENTS of /x/x/x/x/users-access-file

[groups]
DEV =  user1,user2

[/]
* = r

[blah_blah:/]
@DEV = rw

My problem was I 1st had this: [blah_blah], when I changed it to [blah_blah:/] That fixed MY problem. Simple Typo, causes Huge headaches tracking it down.
