I've done my best to verify that there are no network related issues. Does anybody else have the most recent subversion + apache22 + Freebsd 8.0 running? I kinda feel like there's some sort of version incompatibility happening.

Is there any way to get more detailed error logs out of subversion or apache in this case? I've got apache's logging turned up all the way and it only gives the 4 vague messages from my original description.

At what point should I move this over onto the dev mailing list?

Thanks again,
Michael

Hi,

I'm getting a vague error. I have subversion set up through apache on freebsd(all installed through ports). I'm working with a large repository containing lots of large files which I've migrated over from an older
similar install on another machine using svnadmin dump/restore.

I can navigate to the repository in firefox, see, and download files
(including large binary files) without any problem. I can check out portions of the repository from the command line using http on the machine running the server (svn checkout http://my.host.name/vault) without a problem.

However, when doing a checkout onto any other remote system (windows or unix, using command line, or tortoisesvn), it grabs the first few folders but on hitting the first file(happens to be about 14mb) it gives this error:

svn: REPORT of '/vault/!svn/vcc/default': 200 OK (http:// my.host.name)

On the server side I get the following errors from apache:

[Wed Jun 02 13:43:10 2010] [info] [client X.X.X.X] (32)Broken pipe:
core_output_filter: writing data to the network
[Wed Jun 02 13:43:10 2010] [error] [client X.X.X.X] Provider encountered an

[Wed Jun 02 13:43:10 2010] [error] [client X.X.X.X] Error writing base64
data: Software caused connection abort  [500, #53]

I'm running:
svn, version 1.6.11 (r934486)
Server version: Apache/2.2.15 (FreeBSD)
FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE

I've dug around and seen people with similar messages, either related to problems not applicable to my setup or bugs fixed in earlier versions of
subversion.

Any ideas for things to try would be greatly appreciated.

Just a quick drive-by shot: take a look at networking components
between client and server (firewalls, proxies, ...). My prime suspect
would be a proxy (or proxy settings). Some proxies don't interoperate
well with svn (more particularly, some proxies have trouble with some
of the WebDAV methods that svn uses).

If there's no proxy and no firewall involved, I have no idea ...

Cheers,

There is a simple NAT/Firewall (no proxy) between my windows desktop and the subversion server, which never caused a problem before connecting to our previous server in the same location. The unix box I tested from and got the same error has nothing between it and the server (both on public IP addresses with nothing but an ethernet switch between them). With that said, I'll do a few minutes of poking around to make sure there's not something hiding in my network configuration. In the meantime any other drive-by shots are very welcome.

Thanks,

Michael
