SubVersion says “403 Forbidden in response to Checkout” Why?

$ svn ci -m 'Adding first version of my plugin' --username fliebel

Adding         trunk/bw4ie.php
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to CHECKOUT request for '/!svn/ver/66833/bw4ie/trunk'

same problem here…
google has some more people with the same problem, but does not provide a solution.

anyone?
someone said it worked after he received an email about the svn being online and configured, got mail… week ago, but it is still not working.

I had the same problem. I found out that my profile wasn’t in the repository’s list of allowed users. Talk to the admin of the repository to see if you have rights (check the repo’s .conf file).

This thread talks about the same problem,
“https://www.nabble.com/Upgraded-to-1.5,-can’t-commit.-VisualSVN–td18076671.html”

and this link talks about how to configure a repository
https://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-serversetup.html#tsvn-serversetup-apache-4

Hopefully this helps you guys.

Who is the admin of svn.wp-plugins.org/ ????

SOLVED
username was case sensitive

I’m having the same problem. I update the plugin code and I appeared “Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to Checkout” What to do?

I’m getting the same error. Who do we contact if we are having problems accessing the SVN?
