tortoise svn giving me “Redirect cycle detected for URL 'domain/svn'”

问题:

I want to achieve a svn-root in /var/svn and repositories(projects) in there. I could get it to work in the browser (http://domain/url gives me "Collection of repositories") but the TortoiseClient is giving me the error mentioned in the title.

I set up a subversion on my ubuntu server by doing the following (shortened):

mkdir /var/svn svnadmin create /var/svn/test 

and my dav_svn.conf looks the following:

   DAV svn   SVNParentPath /var/svn   SVNListParentPath On 

I read about sym links possibly causing the problem, so I'll attach my 000-default site as well (it's the standard btw):

     ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost      DocumentRoot /var/www                  Options FollowSymLinks             AllowOverride None                       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews             AllowOverride None             Order allow,deny             allow from all           ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/                  AllowOverride None             Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch             Order allow,deny             Allow from all           ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log     # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,     # alert, emerg.     LogLevel warn      CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined  Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"      Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks     AllowOverride None     Order deny,allow     Deny from all     Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128 

I tried like suggested in How do I list all repositories with the SVNParentPath directive on Apache+SVN? but unfortunately I get another tortoise error then (while I can still see it fine in my browser) It then gives me "The OPTIONS request returned invalid XML in the response: XML parse error at line 1: no element found" (and HTTP OPTIONS to that url indeed gives no response body)

Does anyone know what is causing this problem?

Cheers!

Edit: This is the access.log output after trying to reach http://server/svn through tortoise

(with Location /svn) Notice the 301 .. TortoiseSVN changes the path to 'http://server/svn' without a leading slash, tho I specified to search within 'http://server/svn / '

回答1:

The TortoiseSVN Repository Browser doesn't seem to support browsing of collection of repositories.

So if you have the repositories:

/var/svn/repo1 /var/svn/repo2 /var/svn/repo3 

and the dav_svn.conf

   DAV svn   SVNParentPath /var/svn   SVNListParentPath on 

You can browse them with a web browser pointing at http://server/svn.

With TortoiseSVN you must specify also the name of the repository, e.g.

http://server/svn/repo1 http://server/svn/repo2 http://server/svn/repo3 

回答2:

I konw this is an old thread, however for the beneift of others that find it:

Just a guess, but does the url your browser give you have "viewvc" or some other part that is added in by the svn browser?

i.e. http://mysvn/viewvc/trunk/.....   

Tortoise won't check that out since it's not an actual svn url; your svn url is probably something like

http://mysvnsvr/mysvn/trunk..... 

回答3:

On CentOS7, I removed the Alias directive and it works.

回答4:

I encountered the problem in a standard configuration and the reason was that I used the same directory as DocumentRoot for the webserver and as SVNPath in the websvn/davsvn config.

For details see also What is the cause of "svn: E195019: Redirect cycle detected for URL"?

回答5:

The problem for me was that I had a .htaccess RewriteRule in my document root, asking to add a trailing / to every URL not having one.

Because of that, the SVN clients, trying to call URLs WITHOUT a trailing / such as "https://site/repos/project" got reidrected by apache to "https://site/repos/project/", so the SVN client tries to go to "https://site/repos/project" again, and so on.

SOLUTION: Do not have any rule that add a trailing / that could affect your SVN urls.

回答6:

I had the same problem but not for multiple repositories just tags,branches,etc within a repository. Removing the Alias tag in the conf file fixed this. I am running Centos 7 with SVN 1.8 and Tortoise 1.9.

回答7:

Adding the:

SVNListParentPath on 

line alone solved this issue for me.

回答8:

Following @rdconsolo suggestion on Ubuntu 16.04, remove the Alias directive, works for me

#Alias /svn /var/lib/svn   DAV svn SVNParentPath /var/lib/svn SVNListParentPath On AuthType Basic AuthName "Subversion Repository" AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd Require valid-user
