Method not allowed

[Stefano Fraccaro]

Hi all,
I have upgraded my installation from Subversion 1.7 to 1.8.4 and
TortoiseSVN to version 1.8.3.
Now when I checkout a project I see this error:

Unexpected HTTP status 405 'Method not allowed" on RepositoryName
PROPFIND request on 'RepositoryName' failed: 405 Method not allowed

Can be a regression or something is wrong?

For what it's worth, I've seen this, too. It's pretty weird for me, though. I get it only when trying to connect directly to the server via HTTP. I have a proxy set up to get past a VPN's restrictions (which are actually not supposed to apply to me), and I don't have this problem at all going through the proxy.

After some investigation, I found the problem. The technician that has
upgraded the software on server side has also changed the folder name
without notice. "method not allowed" isn't the best error message for
this kind of problem. I tried only with or without the final slash as
suggested in many forums.
Often the problem is not the chair or the pc, but the man in the
middle ;-)

Thanks for the update. The error message originates within the subversion library rather than TortoiseSVN so there's nothing we can do here to address that. You might want to report your experience on the subversion users mailing list.

I imagine it originates server side, 405 Method Not Allowed being an HTTP status code. So if reported, it should probably be reported to the SVN Apache module maintainers. SVN is just giving us a status code it has no idea what to do with, which seems pretty reasonable to me. The server, however, should probably either report 404 or 403.

If the path has changed it means that the SVN module isn't even being
loaded for the path that it was trying to access. There probably isn't
much that can be done about that on the server side -- it's the client
side that needs to have a better error message.
