I had the same problem; It was giving 403 error when fisheye tries to connect subversion with to much request which is caused by mod_evasive.

Use DOSWhitelist statement for mod_evasive like the following lines:

```
 DOSWhitelist   127.0.0.1 DOSWhitelist   192.168.0.*
 


```

Thanks for posting on Answers.

It appears like FishEye does not permission to read the repository. What verion of FishEye are you using? Did you try to do a:

svn info [https://SRV-PUB1/svn/Webapp/](https://srv-pub1/svn/Webapp/) on the command line? Where there any other errors in the logs? Could something have changed in the network infrastructure that is now preventing the svn client from getting to the repository now? Did your company change a new load balancer or firewall?
