DNS Error TSVN: The requested name is valid, but the data of the requested type was not found

Question

I updated my TortoiseSVN client and now I get an error when trying to update or commit for different repositories:

The requested name is valid, but the data of the requested type was not found

Any ideas on how I can solve this? Internet Explorer shows the correct URL.

TortoiseSVN 1.5.3, Build 13783.

Answer 1

Guys, thanks for your answers. Everything was fixed by another reboot (2 reboots after updating TSVN).

However, I cannot explain what happened. :)

Answer 2

I tried to solve this problem ... I found a solution ...

in the specified URL, specify the IP address instead of ServerName

for example: ' http: //xxx.xxx.xx: 8080 / svn / RepositoryName '

I got the fix by doing this ...

hope this information helps

Answer 3

This error is reported as winsock, and not as a TSVN. From the Windows Sockets Error Codes :

The requested name is valid and was found in the database, but it does not have the correct associated data allowed for, for example. an MX record is returned, but there is no A record indicating that the host itself exists but is not directly accessible.

It is strange that you can access the host through IE. Is it possible that in TSVN you specified a port number that is not available on the remote host, and IE is accessing the host on port 80?

Answer 4

Have you changed the connection protocol (for example, from svn to http or from http to https)? Or has the firewall configuration changed between your PC and the SVN server? SVN over HTTP uses DAV commands to perform actions, so it may be that they are blocked in the firewall.

Answer 5

I understand that this is an old thread, but I just experienced the same problem and found a solution, so no harm in sharing.

The solution for me included setting the appropriate proxy settings in TortoiseSVN | Settings | Network (which were already configured in my browser, therefore, it was possible to perfectly view the repository). Therefore, if you are behind a proxy server, be sure to configure TortoiseSVN correctly.

Answer 6

I got this error when trying to run TeamCity and Visual SVN Server on the same virtual machine. Turning TeamCity services solved a problem for me. It is possible that the two web servers fought a bit against each other.

Answer 7

I tried all the solutions, but their mixture worked.

• Delete all valid lines under C: \ Users \% USERNAME% \ AppData \ Subversion \ servers
• Delete all valid lines under C: \ ProgramData \ Subversion \ servers
• Open TortoiseSvn -> Network, then uncheck "enable proxy server"

worked for me. Good luck :)

Answer 8

I had a static IP address, which resulted in no DNS server. Set the IP address in DHCP and this will help.
