E730054: Error running context: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

[Maloney, Daniel]

I've got a Collabnet Subversion Edge instance that I've been running for years with no issues. Got a complaint from a user about a month ago that she couldn't checkout a repo. I verified the issue, error text in TortoiseSVN client window was "E730054: Error running context: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host." I've tried other repos, and they all fail with this same error. Same thing happens with TortoiseSVN or the command line client. All repos were working fine and everyone's permissions were correct before the issue cropped up, and everyone can still browse the repos on ViewVC. The same error is happening on multiple repos and even happens on new test repos. The error seems to crop up at random places in the checkout process - sometimes a few files into the checkout, sometimes dozens. It never stops at the same file, or even a similar file in terms of size. It seems pretty random. And again, it’s happening on multiple repos.

I've tried restarting Subversion Edge, rebooting the server, upgrading the Tortoise client, and I went so far as to upgrade Subversion Edge on the server to 5.1.4-4353.41. I can't see anything useful in the logs from the times I try to check out and get errors. Haven't found much useful when I Google this, so I thought I'd ask for help from the forum.

 

OS is RHEL 4.4.7-4, SVN Edge is providing Apache 2.4.23 and SVN 1.8.17

Any help appreciated.

This is suspiciously similar to the issue described in this thread:

Is this accurate in terms of the OS?  RHEL 4?  I am somewhat surprised SVN Edge would run on that OS as we have never tested it.  Not even 8 years ago when SVN Edge first came out and RHEL 4 was only "old".

Sorry, my bad - it’s actually RHEL 6.5 (Santiago)
