VisualSVN Server 3.2 - Unexpected HTTP Status 405

Question

I installed VisualSVN Server on my computer to control the source code, and when I try to access it through the Repo browser, I get an error message:

Unexpected HTTP Status 405 'Method Not Allowed' on '/!/%23WEB/view/head/ProjectA' Additional errors: PROPFIND request on '/!/%23WEB/view/head/ProjectA' failed: 405 Method Not Allowed. 

Accessing it through a browser works very well.

I installed VisualSVN Server many times and did not have this problem.

Any ideas what could be the problem here?

Answer 1

I think you are trying to access the Tortoise repository using a web browser url.

This thing works fine in the browser, but will return 405 in Tortoise:

 https://path-to-svn-server/!/%23WEB/view/head/ProjectA 

Try this as a repo url in Tortoise (assuming WEB is the repo name and ProjectA is the subfolder):

 https://path-to-svn-server/svn/WEB/ProjectA 

Answer 2

VisualSVN Server 3.2 has a new HTML5-powered web interface for Subversion repositories .

The URL displayed in the address bar of the web browser is specific to the new web interface, it has a special format and arguments that Subversion clients do not understand. In other words, the URL you see in the web browser address bar (URL) cannot be passed to the Subversion client as it is. If you copy the URL to the Subversion client (like you), you will get a 405 Method Not Allowed error.

To get the paste URL for the client, you can click on the “Place an order” button in the upper right corner of the web interface (the third on the right), so the URL that you must enter in the Subversion client should look like https://svn.example.com/svn/MyProject/trunk .
