Repository Browser Only – “Repository moved permanently to… please relocate”

svntortoisesvn

I have the repository root at http://localhost/svn/ and a couple of projects

http://localhost/svn/project1
http://localhost/svn/project2
http://localhost/svn/project3
...

TortoiseSVN works all the time with these projects, only every time I try to access the root http://localhost/svn/ by using "Repository Browser" it returns "Repository moved permanently to http://localhost/; please relocate", while I'm sure the root is fine as I can open it in browsers and see a list of all projects, it's just not working in "Repository Browser". Any ideas?

I suppose you have one SVN repository in each one of svn/project1, svn/project2, svn/project3 -- and that you have no SVN-related anything in svn.

You can see the content of svn in a browser because that directory is served by your webserver -- but it's not served as an SVN-related thing : it's just an HTML page that's sent to your browser.

As such, TortoiseSVN cannot work with it : svn is not an SVN repository.
