Cannot relocate svn working copy

votes

Recently I was forced to move my development server with installed subversion version control server on it to new location and and therefore the server gained new IP address. The location of repository physically on disk is /srv/svn_firmAA/project1. Old subversion server repository address is svn://192.168.0.2:10000/srv/svn_firmAA/project1. Now, the new subversion server repository address is svn://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000/srv/svn_firmAA/project1 and I tried to relocate working copy to new IP with:
svn switch --relocate svn://192.168.0.2:10000/srv/svn_firmAA/project1 svn://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000/srv/svn_firmAA/project1
and I get following error: 

svn: E155024: Invalid source URL prefix: 'svn://192.168.0.2:10000/srv/svn_firmAA/project1' (does not overlap target's URL 'svn://192.168.0.2:10000')

Why?

Here is working copy svn info output: 

Path: .
Working Copy Root Path: /home/user/Projects/working_copy

Can you try svn info new_url ? - Y.N
It's seems like your new url is not working - Y.N
@Y.N hmm, I am getting Connection timeout error: svn: E000110: Unable to connect to a repository at URL svn://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000/srv/svn_firmAA/project1 svn: E000110: Can't connect to host 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx': Connection timed out However, I can connect to repository remotely using TortoiseSVN on Windows, it does not work from my Linux workstation. I think ports are setup correctly. Subversion server listens on port 10000 for incoming connection, I've checked on server (here is htop line): /usr/bin/svnserve -d --listen-port=10000 -r /srv/svn_firmAA/project1/ - KernelPanic
You have try from several computers? Their network connections are same? Svn protocol is not proxy safe. - Y.N
@Y.N I have workstation with installed Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS and laptop with installed MS Windows 7 Ultimate and from laptop I've managed to relocate its working copy with TortoiseSVN but I cannot relocate working copy from Linux workstation. The working copy on workstation is the "main code" and I need to relocate it to (now) remote server with new IP. - KernelPanic

I've managed to solve problem:

  1. Incoming port was wrong (port 20000 is forwarded to port 10000 on server)

  2. svn switch --relocate parameters must NOT INCLUDE repository paths:

    svn switch --relocate svn://192.168.0.2:10000 svn://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:20000

Now it works perfectly!
