svn checkout problem with roms3.0

#1 Unread post by pruthviraj »

Hi all,

I was trying to download roms3.0 from the website www.myroms.org by using svn
The command:
svn checkout --username pruthviraj https://www.myroms.org/svn/src/trunk roms
(roms is the working directory)

but i was getting an error message like

svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/src'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/src': could not connect to server (
https://www.myroms.org)

After this I also tried to download ROMS 3.0 using the eSVN interface,even then the same error.
I sure about the user name and password.
I am on a linux machine. Please advice me what could be the error and how it can be corrected. or is there any other way to download the code???
is it a server problem with the roms website??
Thanks in advance!!

hi ,

thanks for the reply kate. Ya i am also able to login after clicking on the link.
so its fine at the server end. Then it should be some problem at our end right??

So before using svn should it be configured or somethin... or its a firewall problem...

Thanks

A google search brings up this thread:

I have looked at the svn and apache log files and it does not appear that user name pruthviraj has attempted to download the code, failed or otherwise. I can see your connections through a web browser. It could be a firewall or proxy server issue. SVN transmits data using the WebDAV protocol; perhaps you're behind a firewall or proxy server that is blocking that.

I've met the same problem as pruthviraj, can you give me a detailed suggestion on how to set the proxy settings? Thanks a lot.
