SVN 405 Method Not Allowed

Question

I accidentally deleted a folder in SVN and added it back immediately afterward. I ran into an issue with this and my solution ended up removing the folder completely from my local copy as well as the server copy. I can do updates and commits without problems on any other file or folder, but if I try to create a folder with the same name, add, and commit, it gives me the following error:

svn: Server sent unexpected return value (405 Method Not Allowed) in response to MKCOL request for '/svn/www/!svn/wrk/9de0d765-2203-456c-af16-58e792ec7ac0/trunk/htdocs/solutions/medical'

I have run countless cleanups, commits, updates, etc. Nothing resolves the issue. Ideas?

FYI, I do not have the option of renaming the top level folder.

Answer 1

My guess is that the folder you are trying to add already exists in svn. You can confirm by checking out the files to a different folder and see if trunk already has the required folder.
