You might want to check if the websecurity of vpn client is the issue. I uninstalled it and it worked fine..Found the solution here https://superuser.com/questions/471089/svn-connection-not-successful

Answer 2

I have exactly the same issue with you. I have TortoiseSVN installed on my windows, I have also eclipse installed, in the eclipse, I have the subclipse 1.4 installed.

here is the issue I have proxy settings, I can open the repo through web browser, for some reason, I cannot open a repo through svn. I tried to change the proxy following the link below Eclipse Kepler not connecting to internet via proxy. It doesn't work.

Finally I found out a solution

You have to change the proxy setting in TortoiseSVN. After I enable the proxy setting the same with my browser. The issue is gone.

here is the link of how to enable proxy setting in TortoiseSVN https://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-settings.html Seach "Network Settings" on the page above

This is a dead topic, but the solution is to install a client adapter along with Subclipse.

Take a look at this, and install SVN Client Adapter, SVNKit Adapter, and SVNKit Library.

Then check under Window -> Preference -> Team -> SVN and make sure there is an entry for SVN Interface.

And for future reference, if you can connect to the repository through the command line, then it must be a problem with the IDE.

Necropost, but helpful: I came across this problem with an RA request failed since the files "already existed on the server" but wouldn't sync with my repository. I went to the source on my disk, deleted there, refreshed my Eclipse view, and updated the source. Error gone.

I saw the same error and solved by switching off the proxy settings in TortoiseSVN that I normally need for commits to the company servers. I installed Subclipse to back up my own non-prime-time stuff to a local repository (using VisualSVN). I use Eclipse Galileo 3.3 and Subclipse 1.6.12.

At my day job I sit behind a corporate firewall protecting and caching web traffic (among other things). For the most part it stays out of the way. But sometimes it rears its ugly head and stands firmly in the path of what I am trying to do.

Earlier this week I was trying to look at a cool new general validation system for ColdFusion called Validat, put out by the great guys at Alagad. They don't have a download on the RIAForge site yet, but the files are available via SVN. I loaded up the subclipse plugin into my Eclipse, restarted and began adding the Validat SVN repository. I started getting errors abou the "RA layer request failed" and "svn: PROPFIND request failed on /Validat/trunk", followed by an error about not being able to connect to the SVN server.

I already had Eclipse setup with my proxy settings, so I thought I was doing something wrong or Alagad didn't actually have the subversion repository up-and-available. After going home that night, I tried it from home and wa-la it worked. Stupid proxy server! So the subclipse plugin won't use the Eclipse proxy settings. (Can that be fixed please!). After digging around the subclipse help site and being redirected to the collab.net help, then unproductively searching through the eclipse workspace, plugins, and configuration folders for the settings file, I was finally able to figure out how to set up subclipse to use the proxy server.

In my Windows development environment, I opened the following file: C:\Documents and Settings\MyUserId\Application Data\Subversion\servers in my favorite text editor. Near the bottom of that file is a [global] section with http-proxy-host and http-proxy-port settings. I uncommented those two lines, modified them for my corporate proxy server, went back to the SVN Repository view in Eclipse, refreshed the Validat repository and Boom! it worked!
