svn "no element found" error

Start Menu > Tortoise SVN > Settings to show the settings dialog box. From Saved Data dialog, click on 'clear' button beside Authentication Data to make Tortoise Subversion forget the saved password.

However, no element found error message suggests that you have wrong URL. You might want to recheck it.

Hope this helps!

The problem is that the URL is not correct. When you browse to the SVN rep via the http/https take a note of the full url to the repository that you want to browse to.

e.g. httpx://192.168.0.xxx/svn

Will give me the same error (unable to connect to a repository at URL The OPTIONS request returned invalid XML in the response: XML parse error at
line1: no element found (urlname)

However when I browse to httpx://192.168.0.xxx/svn/NAMEOFREPO

Where the repo structure would look like

e.g. httpx://192.168.0.xxx/svn/NAMEOFREPO/trunk

you can now download the code :)
