I tried browsing on the server by using w3m -v http://svn.observium.org/svn/observium/trunk/ observium and it works, asks for my authentication, I enter my username / password, and then it displays a blank page with "Viewing <trunk> No Line" at the bottom. Attached is a screenshot. I saw that I did receive a cookie before seeing the No Line message.

I also checked with the other system admins and we don't use any proxies. We do have a firewall that this server is behind, it's a Sonicwall NSA model.

Indeed. The last two times I saw this error, it was once because of a proxy, and the other time because someone had put the SVN server into their hosts file pointing to 127.0.0.1 (yes, really)

Hi Jason,

It looks like you can't reach the svn server? Can you try browsing there from that machine and make sure you get a login prompt?

Any firewalls in between?

My apologies if this has been answered, but I searched and did not find the answer in the archives or the documentation. I'm also a Windows admin and not nearly as familiar with linux or the apache web server so I've been fumbling around the internet quite a bit to get this going.

Ubuntu 13.04

Observium Revision 13.10.4585

Followed Ubuntu Installation page exactly.

Most everything is working thus far, but from what I've found online, at least one of the items that isn't working was fixed in later versions. I paid the subscription and submitted a username / password hash. After receiving the confirmation email from Adam I tried to use the "svn checkout http://svn.observium.org/svn/observium/trunk/ [2] observium" command to download the latest version. However, I get a couple error messages and I'm wondering if I need to configure the svn client before it will work. Or I may even be entering the username / password incorrectly? Below is the error messages that I receive whether I use an incorrect username/password combo or the one I submitted.

"svn: E175002: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://svn.observium.org/svn/observium/trunk' "

and

"svn: E175002 OPTIONS of 'http://svn.observium.org/svn/obserium/trunk' : could not read status line: connection was closed by server (http://svn.observium.org)"

Thanks guys, love the product so far!

Jason

Ok, I'll see if I can look into it being the Sonicwall. I couldn't find anything before, but I wasn't focusing on that being the culprit.

By browsing to aforementioned website and logging in, assuming I enter the correct credentials, is there anything I should be able to see with the command line browser? Thanks again, Jason

It's probably seeing the authenticated SVN and going "OH MY GOD THIS ISN'T HTML, ABORT! ABORT!"

It doesn't work, it gives him a blank page after auth.

That doesn't explain it working with w3m.

Are you sure there's no proxy? w3m may use your configured proxy settings, while svn doesn't.

Yeah, Adam, your mailman suck dicks instead delivering in time, still.

Oh right, not paying attention very well and a little miffed at the mailman delays.

You could try a third attempt at generating a password hash.

Our svn is used by quite a few people without incident.

Success! Something must have been broken with the password hash that I submitted the first two times. Changed the login and password, sent a new hash to Adam, and all is well. Checkout was successful. Thanks guys! Jason
