Hi

     I had followed the below instruction to download alfresco source code. But i got error as coluld not resolve hostname svn.alfresco.com.

Checking out the source
The Alfresco Subversion repository resides at svn://www.alfresco.org/alfresco, so to check out the latest HEAD revision use the following command line:

svn co svn://svn.alfresco.com/alfresco/HEAD

You can also use the alternative HTTP URL http://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/HEAD/

In case of error like : Error * PROPFIND request failed on '/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/HEAD' PROPFIND of '/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/HEAD': 500 Server Error (http://svn.alfresco.com) you can use this alternate url instead https://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/HEAD/


Subversion repository access
Public read-only access to the Alfresco Subversion repository is available from the web site.

Install Subversion or Subeclipse and ensure that svn is on the path
Checkout the HEAD of the code stream:
Port 3690: svn co svn://svn.alfresco.com/alfresco/HEAD
Port 80  : svn co http://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/HEAD
Keep up to date by issuing the command: svn update



Kindly help me to download source code using svn subversion.

That's the wrong URL.   Years and years out of date.

The correct URL is on the wiki.    (Sorry cant cut and paste on an iPad)

I am getting following error while trying download alfresco source code

Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn://www.alfresco.org/alfresco'
Can't connect to host 'www.alfresco.org': A connection attempt failed because
the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or
established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

I have tried with following command on command prompt

svn co http://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/HEAD alfresco_head

and

svn co svn://svn.alfresco.com/alfresco/HEAD

and on GUI tried below command
