[SOLVED] SVN Commit failed, access forbidden

SVN Commit failed, access forbidden

Recently I am facing problem of commit to SVN. The SVN server I am using is VisualSVN Server 2.5.9 and the client is TortoiseSVN 1.7.12.

At first, one user is having problem to commit files to SVN. But that user still can access to the repository and download the update. The second user on second PC is working properly. But today, the second user is having the same problem as the first user.

Commit failed

Why is this happen? How can the problem be solved? Thanks.

Solution

You can get the "Forbidden" error if your user account lacks access permissions to a repository or repository path; it makes sense to check authorization settings for your user account. Make sure your system administrator hasn't provided you with No Access permission to the repository path.

If you are sure that permissions are set correctly, then double-check the URL you use. URLs in Apache Subversion are case-sensitive.

Additionally, I advise you to read articles on authorization in Subversion and VisualSVN Server:

SVNBook about path-based authorization.
VisualSVN Team's article about path-based authorization. It explains the principles of SVN authorization by comparing it with Windows Access Control.
