We have a user who is trying to commit a 5MB file (he says the file is larger than he normally uploads) and he is receiving the error in subject of this email. I have looked at the apache error_log (after upping the logging to debug) as well as access_log, and find nothing that shows why this error is happening. Someone suggested changing the name of the file and attempting again, but that did not work either. Any assistance in troubleshooting this would be much appreciated. I have googled all I can and can't find any definitive answer to this issue.

SVN Version: 1.6.11 (r934486)
OS RHEL 6.7
Client OS Windows 7
Client Version: TortoiseSVN 1.7.7, Build 22907 - 64bit
No local firewall on server
I believe there is a physical firewall between client machine and SVN server
No load balancer
Error is generated by the SVN client when committing the file.

Your email does not indicate the type of access method that is being used, "svn:", "http:", etc., so I'm just going to make some assumptions.

If you are using http: as your access method and assuming you are using Apache HTTPD as your web server, you should check some of the Apache timeout values. We found that by changing Apache's timeouts from the default of 5 minutes to around 30 minutes, our connections stopped dropping on large checkouts and commits. Look in your Apache configuration for the Timeout directive; on RHEL, Timeout defaults to 120 seconds.

FYI, you are using a really old version of the svn server (1.6) and an old version of TortoiseSVN.

I've seen this kind of error, and usually it seems to map to problems with
the network connectivity. In addition to checking for Apache configuration,
also check for proxies that might be disrupting the communication.

You're also using a very old version of the Subversion server, and
presumably an old version of Apache. Upgrading will almost certainly
address some of the problems you're seeing.

For upgrade alternatives, you'll need to go outside of the stock CentOS
repositories. For example:
http://opensource.wandisco.com/centos/6/svn-1.8/RPMS/x86_64/

The guy who used to manage the SVN servers no longer works here so I kind of inherited it. Yes we are running 1.6 on RHEL6. I see that the most updated version is 1.9.3(?), is that RHEL7 compatible?

It is, but you won't be able to get that version directly from RedHat. The latest directly from RedHat is 1.7 which is also no longer supported by Apache.

Your best bet is to look to wanDisco to package 1.9 for you.
