SVN working fine and then “svn: OPTIONS 200 OK” error and “does not exist”?

Okay, so it turns out the solution to this problem was very basic – and also very complicated.

Okay, so it turns out the solution to this problem was very basic – and also very complicated. The simple answer: The hostname svn.mywebsite. Com does not exist (at least, not as far as my development server is concerned).

For anyone else who's getting this problem, I strongly advise approaching the problem from the assumption that for whatever reason, your client simply cannot locate the SVN server. -- The complication: Now for me, it turned out to be a little more complex, because as I mentioned before, it WAS working -- and then it stopped. The reason for this, in case you are interested, is that our SVN server lives on a web server along with our main application (located at mywebsite.com), which happens to be mirrored on another server, and the DNS records for mywebsite.Com are being distributed on an A-B pattern between the two servers.

Since the SVN client on my development server couldn't find svn.mywebsite. Com, it was looking for simply mywebsite.com. Once it connected to the "A" server, where the virtualhost records exist for the SVN server, Apache took over and served the content appropriate to svn.

Mywebsite.com. But at some point, my DNS cache was refreshed, and with no application logic available to quietly send the user back to the "A" server, my development server began resolving mywebsite. Com to the "B" server -- where SVN hasn't even been installed.

Obviously, that's when the SVN client started saying "uh, gee, there ain't no such server. " (Who knew thats what OPTIONS blah blah 200 OK meant? ) Why I'm an Idiot Here's where the inevitable ID10T error comes into play.

The reason I could consistently browse to "http://svn. Mywebsite.com/myrepo" in Firefox, was because I had manually created a host entry on my PC pointing to the IP address of the "A" server. If I'd remembered that sooner, I would have saved myself a lot of time – and a few precious Ibuprofen tablets.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
