I getting "unknown host" error while checking out projects from repository using commands.

#svn co svn://abcd.com/repos/trunk1 test23
svn: Unknown hostname 'abcd.com'

I can ping host from same terminal as well as I can connect the SVN port through telnet on same machine. Only svn command unable to resolve the hosts.

#telnet abcd.com 3690
Trying xx.xx.xx.xx...
Connected to abcd.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
( success ( 2 2 ( ) ( edit-pipeline svndiff1 absent-entries commit-revprops depth log-revprops atomic-revprops partial-replay ) ) )

Second thing is I am facing this issue only for users other than root

Root user can successfully checkout projects from svn. Please help me to resolve this issue

  • OS : CentOS release 6.6
  • svn : version 1.6.11

  • Mouse over the down arrow; the popup says "This question does not show any research effort; it is unclear or not useful". Downvotes without comment may be presumed to be for at least one of those reasons.

This issue has been fixed for me. "Shell Fork Bomb Protection" was blocking SVN binary execution with non-root users.

CPANEL -> Securty center -> Shell Fork Bomb Protection -> Disable Protection

"Unknown Hosts" and "Out of memory - terminating application" both svn issues solved after disabling protection.
