Just a quick note to remind myself (and others!) that case is PRETTY important when using Subversion (SVN) .. even on Windows (yeah, go figure!!)
Leif, Rene and I (well mostly Leif and Rene – I’m just supplying the SVN server! :-) are working on changes to the www.aanug.dk website. Being a SVN guy, I of course have the website under source control .. but when Leif and Rene tried to COMMIT any changes they both received a 403 Forbidden error which looks something like this:
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: MKACTIVITY of '/aanugdk/!svn/act/1f177b34-1601-...': 403 Forbidden
I tried updating my Subversion, but same error. Then we tried updating our TortoiseSVN .. again – still same error.
Finally I found this article .. and it all boils down to that fact that my Repository was named “aanugDK”, but it was checked out as “aanugdk”, which works fine until you try to commit anything and you’ll receive the above error .. and this despite that Subversion and Apache is running on Windows 2008 server.
