I am trying to create subversion repository mirror in a remote server using "svnsync" through command line and the actual repo is located in different remote server.I am able to access this repo from SVNSLIK, but not able to connect subversion of windows compatible

command: 

svnsync init file:///repository http://repoURL/trunk/repoName --source-username AAA --source-password PWD

Authentication realm: XXX

Username: AAA Password: PWD

Again asked username and password, even i entered correct authentication info, thrown error.

Error: svnsync:E215004:Unable to connect to a repository at URL http://repoURL/trunk/repoName

Plz help me on this.

  • When I googled for your error code E215004, it seems to indicate a authentication error: E215004: No more credentials or we tried too manytimes (is there any more error output after the line you posted?) Have you tried accessing the url via a browser and see what happens, since it is a http url? – DanielBarbarian Oct 30 '13 at 09:26
  • Also I am assuming that the htp:// protocol only is a typo in your question as it should be http://. – DanielBarbarian Oct 30 '13 at 09:28
  • no typo error,i am not able to post this question if i use http, so i mentioned htp in the question. – Sandeep Oct 30 '13 at 10:19
  • i am able to access the repo(URL) from browser, but not able to acces through command line in windows usning svnsync. i installed win32svn(Subversion Windows Installer). – Sandeep Oct 30 '13 at 10:22
  • Do you have to log in when you use the url via the browser? – DanielBarbarian Oct 30 '13 at 12:51
  • Thanks Daniel for commenting on this. For accessing repo from browser,i need to enter credentilas. I installed WIN32SVN on windows server – Sandeep Oct 31 '13 at 08:09

I escaped from the problem. In source server(where source code repository exists), subversion client with version - win32svn1.6 was installed. But in destination server, I installed win32svn1.8. May be this is causing the problem. So, I uninstalled win32svn1.8 (from destination server), then installed subversion client with version win32svn1.7. Now it working perfectly for me.

I understand this is an old thread (asked 3years ago as of this posting) but I can provide a different perspective for other users in same scenario.

My source repo was 1.6 and destination was the current svn 1.9.4 on CentOS 6.8. I got the same error

E215004: No more credentials or we tried too manytimes

I have another repo syncing (svn1.6 -> svn1.9) and it was working fine so I compared the config. The other working repo has

SVNPath /var/www/svn_repos/XXX

While this new one has

SVNParentPath /var/www/svn

Per http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.6/svn.ref.mod_dav_svn.conf.html, those 2 cannot go at the same time. If I change one for the other, I risk breaking the automation apps using this new repo. I don't know the intimate difference between those two (SVNParentPath vs SVNPath) but I tried creating a different config in my /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf

<Location /appX-sync> DAV svn SVNPath /var/www/svn/appX <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT> # Require SSL connection for password protection. SSLRequireSSL Order deny,allow Deny from all allow from localhost allow from 1.2.3.40 allow from 1.2.3.50 </LimitExcept> </Location>

And when I re-run the svnsync, it worked!
