I have not had any prior experience with Subversion, and the Eclipse
project in which I participate has switched its repository from CVS to
SVN. So, I am using the Subversive plug-in to access the repository.

So far, it has worked out pretty well, I can browse the repository,
check out projects, do comparisons, etc. However, when it came time to
perform my first commit back into the SVN repository, I received the
following error message:

Some of selected resources were not committed.
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: MKACTIVITY of
'/svnroot/technology/!svn/act/a485986c-1a01-0010-bab6-6d7bc9 66c039':
403 Forbidden (http://dev.eclipse.org)

I cannot see any information in the message that helps me understand
what to do differently. Every time I try, I get the same result. I
selected a single source file in a project, and then Team > Commit...

If anyone can shed any light on what I might have done wrong, I would
appreciate it. Is there some configuration issue that I missed?

Other committers in the project are successfully committing, so the
repository cannot be completely out of whack.

Thanks,
-- Mike

I'm not an expert, but 403 sounds like a "permission denied" error at
the http-request. Somewhere in the svn repository the permissions of all
users must be configured and I would assume you are not enabled writing
to the repository, only reading. You should ask the repository admin to
check this for you.

Cheers,
Hauke

Hello Mike,


It looks like you have no permissions to perform a commits.
So, please ensure that you specified secure URL in order to access
repository (https or svn+ssh), because access to repository using http
protocol is not configured for write access. Then please check if you
entered your username and password correctly. If so, I think it will be
good to ask Web-masters.
