SVN Checkout doesn't work

[major_king]

Hello everybody,

i tried to checkout the current alfresco-source from svn ( http://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/HEAD ), but i get the following error-message:

RA layer request failed
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/HEAD'
svn: PROPFIND of '/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/HEAD': could not connect to server (http://svn.alfresco.com)‍‍‍

I can browse the repository with firefox (so i can reach the server).

Here my config:

• eclipse 3.3.2


• subclipse 1.1.6


• tortoise 1.4.7

greeting.

Can you browse to http://dev.alfresco.com/resource/docs/java/repository/org/alfresco/service/cmr/repository/ContentDat... in a browser?

Cheers,

Hi Peter,

Thanks for answering.

That's very strange.  Does it consistently fail, or was that a one-off error?

Now i tried it also at home - and it works. Probably there is a configuration issue in my company network. Does Tortoise or Subclipe uses an other Port or Protokoll than Firefox or IE, because there i can connect to the repository… strange things happen here.

Thanks for helping!

Regards,

I believe SVN uses TCP port 3690 by default.

If you're using the HTTP protocol (as shown in your original URL), SVN uses the standard HTTP port (port 80) and speaks standard HTTP protocols (WebDAV + DeltaV).  As Mike mentioned, SVN also has a native protocol (identified by URLs starting with "svn:") that uses port 3690 (which is quite commonly blocked by corporate firewalls etc.).

Cheers,
Peter
