You are sure that repository working and can be accessed. You can see that SVN server is listening on given url. “Some” client get “some” kind of connection. But with other client you get “Could not read status line: connection was closed by server”. There is at least one simple way to connect that works in many cases…

1

Try different url PROTOCOL setting for connection string:

Try:

1
2
3
4
svn co http://${YOUR_URL}/
svn co https://${YOUR_URL}/
svn co svn://${YOUR_URL}/
svn co svn+ssh://${YOUR_URL}/

 
Did one of those commands work. If yes, use this protocol everywhere.

2

Use working PROTOCOL for all other clients as well

 
Does that help to solve your problem?
