Why doesn't Subversion allow to commit .htaccess files?

Question

I can\'t commit .htaccess files from my Windows SVN client (TortoiseSVN). The error that is returned is:

Could not read status line: Existing connecti

Answer 1

    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Satisfy All

This worked for me too. With a slight complexity I was doing it on a plesk server.

After adding above lines to my vhost file created in

/var/www/vhosts/system/[your domain]/conf

I ran following to rebuild the conf files

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng  --reconfigure-domain [your domain]

and the comit worked!

Thanks, hope this helps people using plesk
