svn: OPTIONS of ‘‘: SSL handshake failed: SSL error: A TLS warning alert has been received. ()

If your svn client suddenly starts complaining about something similar to

svn: OPTIONS of '...': SSL handshake failed: SSL error: A TLS warning alert has been received. (...)

The reason might be that the host in the URL (https://example.com/ => example.com) doesn’t match the ServerName setting in the SSL host for your web server. You might not have configured this, so for Apache add:

ServerName example.com

.. and restart the server. It might just work again!

  1. Thanks for the hint. Since the error message is not telling the underlaying reason you helped me alot :-)

  2. Thanks dude for the solution.You guys really helped me a lot.We were suddenly getting this error and unable to find a proper solution as the error message leaves nothing to resolve the issue and our’s is not at all the server using the SSL protocol which led us confused.
