Using VisualSVN with edited host file

  • 772

I am receiving an error when trying to get a solution from subversion.

Here are the step I took:

  1. I edited the host file located here C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
  2. I added the the line 111.222.333.444 DEV.test.local
  3. In VS 2010 I chose Get Solution from Subversion
  4. I enter DEV.test.local/svn/Project1/trunk
  5. I enter me credntials (I know these credentials are fine bc i have used them before)
  6. I recieve this error: OPTIONS of 'https://DEV.test.local/svn/Project1/trunk': authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (https://DEV.test.local)
svn visualsvn-server

    1.) Make sure the changes were actually saved to the ../etc/hosts file because it is naturally "read-only" and must be changed with Administrator access.
    - Also, make sure the line is not commented out with a "#" at the beginning.

    2.) Assuming the changes to the "Hosts" file on your workstation are correct, does a ping test to "dev.test.local" resolve "111.222.333.444"?

    Try

     - "ipconfig /flushdns"

    and/or other commands to reset your network interface, if it does not resolve the IP.

    3.) Are your credentials taking Domains or Workgroups into account?

    4.) Check any recent changes to firewalls or network settings on both machines.
