SVN (RapidSVN) from Behind a Proxy on Ubuntu

Today I was trying to access our SVN server from behind a proxy. I configured my Ubuntu general proxy settings but actually that still did not work for the SVN client. After a bit of web-browsing I figured out that the SVN client has its own proxy setting: go to:~/.subversion and edit the server file. Uncomment and edit these lines:


[global]
http-proxy-host = YOURPROXY
http-proxy-port = YOURPROXYPORT

Thanks, it is the best help I’ve seen! I spent long long days figuring out why I cannot connect to an outside server through proxy. It really works!

Hello

Hope this can help!

I was investigating and found the “servers” file in:

%\RapidSVN\Data\UserProfile\Program data\Subversion\servers

I edited it and wrote:

http-proxy-host = 129.X.X.X
http-proxy-port = 80
