Here is my problem, On my network there is a subversion server to which everybody connects to and checks in/out code and documents. The workstations on the network are all based on Fedora core 3. And everybody's home directory is on a nfs share. This nfs share is mounted via the fstab. So no matter to which box a user logs in, his/her home dir is gonna be the same.
Again, /home is a nfs mounted dir. Now, if I am on Fedora and I cd into /home/jean/dev/ for exmaple, and then I do svn update everything works fine. But if I do the same on centos 4.3; cd /home/jean/dev and then svn update, it gives me this error:
bash-3.00$ cd ~/dev/sysadmin/ bash-3.00$ svn update svn: REPORT request failed on '/svn/code/!svn/vcc/default' svn: REPORT of '/svn/code/!svn/vcc/default': 400 Bad Request (https://subversion) bash-3.00$ bash-3.00$ cd /local/new_dev/sysadmin/ bash-3.00$ svn update At revision 30009. bash-3.00$
As you can see if I am still on centos and I create a /local on the *local drive*, then I can check out code or documents there and do everything else. Again, while I am on the nfs mounted dir it does not works, once I get out of the nfs dir then it works.
Authentication is done via NIS, so uid and gid is the same under both distributions and computers. I also checked nfs access permision on the /etc/exports files and both computers or hosts have the same set of permissions.
The subversion version on Fedora is 1.2.1 and in centos 4.3 it is 1.1.4. I have already tried upgrading to the same subversion version and to more recent ones, and that did not work.
I am thinking that maybe this is not a subversion error because I can sucessfully use it from fedora 3 anf 5, and debian. I think it has to do with CentOS. I was looking to upgrade all of the FC3 boxes in my network to CentOS (about 30 of them), but with this problem Ill have to stick with Fedora.
Any ideas? Thanks, Jean

On the CentOS box, can you cleanly check out a copy of the repository to somewhere else in your NFS-mounted home directory? E.g.,
mkdir ~/svn-tmp cd ~/svn-tmp svn co [...]
If so, I'd be interested to compare the output of 'svn info' from the test checkout with that of the one in ~/dev.
The subversion version on Fedora is 1.2.1 and in centos 4.3 it is 1.1.4. I have already tried upgrading to the same subversion version and to more recent ones, and that did not work.

The presence of the near-ancient Subversion 1.1.4 in RHEL 4/CentOS 4 is a constant sore spot around my workplace. I feel your pain. :-)

On my CentOS I cannot check out code anywhere on my NFS-mounted home. svn simply does not work on the NFS. I tried other users and the same thing happens. I've tried mounting the home directory manually, double checked that uids and gids are correct, upgraded to subversion-1.3.2-1 and nfs utils version, checked the /etc/export file from the nfs server, and everything looks right. I don't know why I CentOS giving me this problem.
Thanks for your help.

Before you start down the long, dark road to strace and tcpdump, do you know if nscd is running on the CentOS box? If not, try starting it:
/sbin/service nscd start
That's often helped me resolve odd problems on redhat-esque systems that get auth info over the network.
After that, strace would be my first troubleshooting tool of choice:
cd /somewhere/in/nfs/home/dir strace -o /tmp/svn.trace svn co [....]
The /tmp/svn.trace file will show you the system calls that preceded svn giving up and reporting an error.
This sounds like a web proxy issue. As best I know, snv does not work through web proxies. check your http_proxy environment variable.
