tortoise svn giving me “Redirect cycle detected for URL 'domain/svn'”

Question

I want to achieve a svn-root in /var/svn and repositories(projects) in there. I could get it to work in the browser (http://domain/url gives me \"Collection of repositories\

Answer 1

I had the same problem but not for multiple repositories just tags,branches,etc within a repository. Removing the Alias tag in the conf file fixed this. I am running Centos 7 with SVN 1.8 and Tortoise 1.9.

Answer 2

I konw this is an old thread, however for the beneift of others that find it:

Just a guess, but does the url your browser give you have "viewvc" or some other part that is added in by the svn browser?

i.e. http://mysvn/viewvc/trunk/.....  

Tortoise won't check that out since it's not an actual svn url; your svn url is probably something like

http://mysvnsvr/mysvn/trunk.....
