I have a developer in another country who is accessing svn from there.
Now we had an issue with the firewall, and he could not access the repository for a while. The firewall error should be fixed now, and it works again for others. This devs gets the error “Error:access to ‘/svn/path/lots-of-numbers’ forbidden” though.
When I tried to find the cause, I found this: link to similar case
However, he sent me the repository link he uses, and it is all in lower case, just as it should be. The permissions are also correct, I just double checked them.
Could the problem lie in the firewall somehow, or does anyone have another suggestion?
Figured it out some time ago, but I guess I should post this here too in case someone else has a similar issue. My problem was actually with permission settings.
What I have now that works, are the exact same settings I had in the svn server previously, only now they are inherited from the root. Sooo…yeah. I have no idea why that actually made a difference.
