Bert, I would be happy to provide debugging information, but as I said, I had to rollback to 1.7.10.
If I ran it interactively, authentication just didn't go through, so it looked like the username or password is incorrect. After I reverted back to 1.7.10 everything works as expected. svnsync is called from a hook on the master server : #!/bin/ksh REPOS=`basename $1` TMPFILE=/var/tmp/svnsync.$$ /usr/bin/svnsync sync --non-interactive --quiet \ --sync-username svnsync http://example.com/reposync/${REPOS} > $TMPFILE 2>&1 if [[ $? -ne 0 && -s $TMPFILE ]] ; then mail -s "svnsync failed" root < $TMPFILE fi rm -f $TMPFILE exit 0 Slave server is properly initialized: sudo -u apache svn pg svn:sync-from-url --revprop -r 0 --username svnsync http://example.com/reposync/repo1 http://example.com/svn/repo1 I was receiving errors like this in e-mail: svnsync: E175002: Unable to connect to a repository at URL ' http://example.com/reposync/repo1' svnsync: E175002: OPTIONS of 'http://example.com/reposync/repo1': could not connect to server (http://example.com) or this svnsync: E175002: PROPFIND of '/reposync/repo2/!svn/rev/0': could not connect to server (http://example.com) Regards, Vadym On Mon, Jul 1, 2013 at 12:07 PM, Bert Huijben <b...@qqmail.nl> wrote: > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Vadym Chepkov [mailto:vchep...@gmail.com] > > Sent: zondag 30 juni 2013 22:58 > > To: Ryan Schmidt > > Cc: users@subversion.apache.org > > Subject: Re: svnsync 1.8.0 fails if htdigest authentication is used > > > > > > On Jun 30, 2013, at 2:18 PM, Ryan Schmidt wrote: > > > > > > > > On Jun 30, 2013, at 07:06, Vadym Chepkov wrote: > > > > > >> After I upgraded to 1.8.0, svnsync process started to fail.
