How to check out a SVN directory?

Question

I checked out my application regularly on my terminal by using this code:

sudo svn export https://svn.domain.com/svn/repos-myapp/trunk/Application /var/www/versions/stage/temp

Since last week, I get the following error:

svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/repos-myapp/trunk/Application'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/repos-myapp/trunk/Application': 405 Method Not Allowed (http://svn.domain.com)

Unfortunately, I don't know why it happens. Does anyone have an idea? When googling the problem, I only find apache/permission solutions which I can't influence because the SVN server is not hosted by myself.. But the host tells me that nothing has changed since 2 month..

Answer 1

Did you go through the possible reasons described in the FAQ?

Answer 2

Have you done a svn verify?

Also, there may be other causes for a 405, other than server permissions. Has anything changed on your end. Firewall/proxy perhaps?
