Subversion error 404 full error is "Error parsing svn output: No close tag for /lists/list" : wrong subversion password!

Added by Emmanuel KARTMANN over 6 years ago

I had the following error while trying to integrate Subversion in a brand new Redmine installation (3.4.3 on Debian Stretch):

Error 404 in web interface for my subversion repository ("The entry or revision was not found in the repository")
In redmine log (/opt/redmine/redmine-3.4.3/log/production.log):
```
  Error parsing svn output: No close tag for /lists/list
```

I tried many workarounds proposed in very old issues (Defect #8823, FAQ, etc...) - nothing worked! I use a regular certificate on my svn server (so SSL/certificate is fine).

Until I tried to execute some and figured out that I had been using the wrong subversion password for my account!
I changed the password in redmine configuration - and everything went fine. Seems like svn is returning badly formed XML when an authentication error occurs.

Hope this will help others,
