This is a follow up question to this question:
Android Studio can't authenticate with SVN
I got an Android project which I used in Eclipse and I just converted it to a working AS project. When using Eclipse, the SVN works fine. When using AS for some reason, every time I try to commit or update, I get a prompt asking for my user name and password and it keeps repeating itself without ever succeeding. When I press cancel I get this error:
Error:svn: E170012: When using svn+ssh:// URLs, keep in mind that the --username and --password options are ignored because authentication is performed by SSH, not Subversion
svn: E170012: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn+ssh://...
svn: E170012: Can't create tunnel
svn: E720002: Can't create tunnel: The system cannot find the file specified.
What I tried until now was Uncheck follow two items
Use command line client
Use system default Subversion configuration directory
Also, I tried editing the servers file in the SVN config's folder with:
store-passwords = yes
store-ssl-client-cert-pp = yes
store-plaintext-passwords = yes
store-ssl-client-cert-pp-plaintext =yes
What else can be done?
I ended up just checking out the project again to a new folder even without setting all the things I wrote in the question and everything started working

I am trying to create an online installer for a Qt6 application. In this case, it is a Python base GUI app, compiled with Nuitka.
After creating the repository and the installer itself
repogen -p packages repository
binarycreator --online-only -c config/config.xml -p packages Installer
the repo folder is filled and the installer is created. But each time I call it, I get 'Cannot retrieve distant tree'.
The question is: which remote servers are allowed, and how do I access them?
SFTP: debug mode tells me 'unsupported protocol'
FTP: connects, but asks for pw forever. Probably due to secure ftp
Google drive: seems not to work, probably because of redirections?
Nextcloud server: seems not to work, probably because of redirections?
Office365 cloud: seems not to work, probably because of redirections?
Or is the only way to configure an http server to get access to an update folder w/o pw?
I can do checkouts, update and such. But when I try to commit changes, SVN gives me the following error:
Can't open file '/svn/p/pokemonium/code/db/txn-current-lock': Permission denied
I am using Windows 7 x64 SP1 with latest version of TortoiseSVN.
UAC is off, my account has read and write access, etc.
I can commit fine to other svn repositorys.
For me it ended up being a permissions issue on the server. I have my repo on a linux box, and ssh in to use svnadmin. For convenience sake, I had executed my create repository command as root. I was looking to get source I had on my Windows box into the repo, so was using TortoiseSVN to set up trunk/branches/tags. The directory containing the repo on the server was owned by root, and Tortoise was coming in as apache. I chowned the directory on the server to apache:apache, and it all went smoothly.
chown apache:apache -R my_repo_root
This is a server configuration issue. On windows host Visual SVN server runs under NETWORK SERVICE account by default. I solved this problem by granting full access rights to the repository folder to this account. Another option is switching Visual SVN service to the SYSTEM account, but that could pose a potential security risk.
Try this.
Make a back up copy of your working copy (just to be safe).
Make another copy your entire working copy off somewhere else.
Take the copy and delete all of the SVN folders out of it
Delete your working copy and do a fresh checkout
now copy/paste your corrupted working copy over your fresh checkout.
it is critical for this to work that you have completely removed ever _svn or .svn folder from your corrupted working copy before you perform the copy/paste.
This will leave you (hopefully) with a working copy that shows (!) on all the files you had modified since your last commit. And fixes your lock issue.
I had the same problem after I re-installed Windows 7 and just copied the SVN Repository from the old Windows to the new one.
After trying the steps that Mr. Manager proposed, the problem was still not fixed in my case.
After making sure that the permissions was setup correctly for the SVN Repository folder I just deleted the file 'txn-current-lock' in the /db folder of the project. That fixed it for me. From thereon I could commit my project again.
I had faced same issue on Unix box
Restarting the Apache service of the SVN server solved myproblem.
-f httpd.conf -k stop
-f httpd.conf -k start
In my own case, my linux server had been restarted after a power loss. The file system remained mounted as read-only since some journal repairs had been made. Rebooting the machine restored full function.
permissions worked for me too
error
repo/db/txn-current-lock: Permission denied
fix
chown apache:apache -R my_repo_root
Everytime I try to commit files to SVN I got the following error.
Command Commit
Modified D:\Project\src\WebSite\SomePage.aspx.cs
Sending Content D:\Project\AKent\src\WebSite\Test\SomePage.aspx.cs
Commit succeeded, but other errors follow:
Error bumping revisions post-commit (details follow):
Can't set file 'D:\Project\AKent\src\WebSite\Test\SomePage.aspx.cs'
read-write: Access is denied.
After I get this error, SVN doesnt allow me to update or commit anything! And what is really frustrating me is that the project folder is around 2 GB and every night I download it from SVN over and over.
Please help me to fix it! I just wanna know what is wrong with my SVN. I tried reinstalling, didn't fix anything.
I had the same problem but fixed. My solution is:
1. Run Command Prompt as Administrator
2. Navigate to the target working copy
3. svn cleanup
The error
read-write: Access is denied.
indicates that svn can not access the file or can't set all attributes it needs to that file.
Now that either means you have not full access to those files or some other application has the file opened exclusively.
In the first case: make sure that your username has full access to all folders and subfolders of your working copy. Note that on Vista/Win7 it's not enough to be an admin - you have to give yourself full access to such files manually.k
In the second case: disable windows search indexer for your working copy, and exclude the working copy from being scanned by your virus scanner.
If you are sharing a svn versioned folder using samba and running into this issue when acessing it from windows machine, try:
http://tortoisesvn.net/faq.html#samba
Also add to your smb.conf file:
dos filemode = yes
copy the wrong folder (1) to another folder(2)
delete the wrong folder (1)
copy the backup(2) to (1)
Hope this approach works for you too!
I was trying to revert a file but was receiving the error listed in the OP's post. Soony's answer just about worked for me. I cannot comment or edit that answer, so I had to copy their answer and add a small step at the end. S/he deserves all the credit.
Run Command Prompt as Administrator
Navigate to the target working
copy svn cleanup
svn revert [filename]
(the revert did not work in Windows Explorer/TortoiseSVN integrated tools, I had to do it from the cmd line)
i setup a SVN server in ubuntu. I am able to checkout and commit changes to my files using the terminal. I want to access my repositories in windows and so i setup TortoiseSVN. I was able to checkout the contents of my repository to a folder but i am not able to commit or import as i get the error
"Commit Failed, attempt to write a readonly database"
. I tried to clear the cache to see if i can enter username and password but there is no authenticated data. How can i fix this? Is there any way to set the user as which tortoiseSVN makes the commits? Thanks.
Not sure if this is required but here is a link to my repository: http://46.137.254.155/usr/local/svn/
Make sure the file /svn/repopath/db/rep-cache.db has write permissions for the user subversion uses.
More info here: http://www.gsdesign.ro/blog/error-svn-attempt-to-write-a-readonly-database-commit-failed/
I am running ubuntu server with Subversion 1.6.6.
In windows I use the latest Tortoise SVN compiled against Subversion 1.6.6.
I create a new Repository and when I attempt to view the repository or import my files and get the following error:
"Could not open the requested SVN filesystem"
I can view the repositories via the command line (as root) but want to view them in Tortoise. Some repositories however are fine and I can view and comit without any problem via Tortoise.
I am sure its a user / permission thing but not sure where to look?
Any suggestions are greatly accepted.
Thank you
How do you access the repository on your server? If you're using file:///, that won't work since the repository format isn't compatible between OS. You have to use either svn:// or http(s):// to access the repository (and set up the corresponding server app).
If you're already using svn:// or http:// to access the repository, you can check the apache error log or run svnserve in console mode to get more detailed error messages.
your repositories must have full read/write access for the user who runs the server (svnserve or apache).
I ended up perforoming a repository dump then re-installing ubuntu, subversion, then installed USVN (great app). I next restored the repository from the dump. Everything is working great now.
