svn: Repository moved temporarily to 'main'; please relocate

I have problem with my own Subversion repository. It worked yesterday. But I received an error when I was adding new file today:

svn: Repository moved temporarily to 'main'; please relocate

List of my actions:

1. /home/user/test# svn checkout https://website.biz/repo/siteweb.com

   OK

2. /home/user/test/siteweb.com/trunk# touch 1.txt

   OK

3. /home/user/test/siteweb.com/trunk# svn add 1.txt

4. /home/user/test/siteweb.com/trunk# svn -m "adding 1.txt " commit

   Adding         trunk/1.txt
   
   svn: Commit failed (details follow):
   svn: Repository moved temporarily to 'main'; please relocate
   svn: Repository moved temporarily to 'main'; please relocate
   

What is this, how do 开发者_如何学编程I fix this?

svn: Repository moved temporarily to 'something'; please relocate

It is a lame misconfiguration issue! You probably use dav_svn module to access your SVN repository. And there is global redirection on the ErrorDocument directive in your web server config. You should override this setting for the SVN repository section in the dav_svn config.

Edit the following file: /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf, add the directive "ErrorDocument 404 default" between Location lines. It does the trick. My config can be an example for you:

<Location /svn>
  DAV svn
  SVNPath /var/svn-repos/svn
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Subversion Repository"
  AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd
  Require valid-user
  SSLRequireSSL
  ErrorDocument 404 default
</Location>

And reload the web server config with the following command:

/etc/init.d/apache2 reload

If you are getting this exception while fetching it from a client, either a command line client or tigris, it may be the url pattern. For example,

http://nhibernate.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/nhibernate will work if you replace viewvc with svnroot such as

https://nhibernate.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/nhibernate

According to this thread, there seems to be a pre-commit hook that sends this message (btw this is the first hit when I ask google for svn Repository moved temporarily to 'main').

Unless you added this hook (assuming you're the only administrator of https://website.biz/repo/siteweb.com), you might be in serious trouble...

On the other hand, it could also be an apache configuration issue. In that case, I assume that my linked thread will help you too.

This error might also be caused by a misconfigured client.

It happened to me because I had spaces, not commas, in http_proxy_exceptions in ~/.subversion/servers.

http_proxy_exceptions = *.foo.com *.bar.com

was incorrect, but

http_proxy_exceptions = *.foo.com, *.bar.com

worked. (The first form may have worked in the past.)

I received this error when a proxy server was added
