TortoiseSVN trunk checkout "Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to OPTIONS" error

Question

First of all please excuse my lack of knowledge, I'm new to Tortoise, and my bad English.

My problem is that every time I do some operation with an URL like the following one: https://nttt.dttt.com:8443/svn/nttt/Med/trunk I get "Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to OPTIONS". The user and password I supplied was correct, so no problem there.

I don't know where the problem lies, I don't know if it is the server(on witch I don't have any control) or my Tortoise client.

Thanks in advance for any answer or guidance.

Answer 1

according to this post it is a known bug http://groups.google.com/group/visualsvn/browse_thread/thread/e16fe2e3c5fdab8d?pli=1 Setting username and password manually may help

Answer 2

I don't think it is TroitoiseSVN. The problem most likely is that you don't have access to full tree or all HTTP operations. Try accessing these URLs in your browser:

https://nttt.dttt.com:8443/svn/nttt

https://nttt.dttt.com:8443/svn/nttt/Med

https://nttt.dttt.com:8443/svn/nttt/Med/trunk

And see if you get any 403 errors. Otherwise you will need to talk to your system administrator to fix the rights.

Answer 3

It's possible that you're using the wrong URL. It's also possible that your apache server is misconfigured.

What happens when you put that URL into your web browser? Can you see it? Try verifying the path first by testing your URL with the browser, then try Tortoise again.

Answer 4

Try accessing this url (https://nttt.dttt.com:8443/svn/nttt/Med/trunk) with your web browser, if you can get through its not Tortoisesvn issue.
