Subversion installation help required - for accessing SVN via clients from Windows/TortoiseSVN to Linux SVN server
Hi,
Installed TortoiseSVN 1.3.5. (TSVN)
Had earlier configured svn (1.2.3) on a Linux (CentOS) VPS server using the
svnserve approach.
Created a repository, could import, check out, commit, etc. from linux using
svn command-line client.
But from TSVN, it does not work.
Gave the URL like this: svn://host.name.com/home/username/dev/app1
It waits for a while and then says the server forcibly broke the connection.
I have the SVN book and will be looking in it for any solutions, but
meanwhile, appreciate any help or pointers.
Thanks
Vasudev

Thanks for the replies. Some answers and more questions:
>Is there a firewall running on the system that may be blocking external
access to the SVN port?
Not sure yet. Will be checking that out on both the Windows side and the
Linux server side.
> Can you issue svn commands from a windows command prompt (after installing
the windows SVN package)?
Downloaded the windows SVN package. Tried the svn command-line client.
It gives the same errors as the TortoiseSVN client:
C:\Program Files\Subversion1.3.2\bin>svn list
svn://dev.foo.com/home/foo_dev/foo/development/app01
svn: Can't read from connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed
by the remote host.
Before trying the above (SVN access from Windows to the SVN repository on
the Linux server via TSVN and command-line commands), I had run the command
"svnserve -d" on the Linux VPS server (as root), and done a "ps -f | grep -i
svnserve" which showed the svnserve process running.
> And of course you'll have to make sure all windows users have the correct
setting of svn:mime-type in their config file, or you'll start seeing some
really weird results.
My Windows Subversion package is installed in C:\Program
Files\Subversion1.3.2\. Is the comfig file you mention on the Windows side
or the Linux side? I could not see any config files in the above directory.
Do they have to be manually created?
Thanks

Is there a firewall running on the system that may be blocking external access to the SVN port?
Can you issue svn commands from a windows command prompt (after installing the windows SVN package)?
And of course you'll have to make sure all windows users have the correct setting of svn:mime-type in their config file, or you'll start seeing some really weird results.

Hi,
you tried only to connect from client, huh?
If you try to access with the svn commandline client and the svn://-URL
from the server - would this be successful?

No problem.
I did some more stuff:
In ~user/project/app01/conf/svnserve.conf, I added entries for anon and auth
type users - read for anon and read/write for auth. Created a realm as well.
Also an entry for the passwd-db and created a passwd file accordingly. Then
retried TortoiseSVN and also Windows command line svn. Still get the same
error. Also disabled Windows firewall. No dice.

Apologies for the mistake. Gavin is right.
The point I wanted to make is that it's not the path to the working copy, in
case that was somehow getting into Tortoise.
Gavin, thanks for setting the record straight. Erik

No, that's not correct. The URL is the path *within* the repository,
relative to the server's base folder.
So if your repository is physically located in /home/username/dev/app1
and your server base is /home/username/dev, then the URL should be:
svn://host.name.com/app1/

Vasudev:
The URL is supposed to be for the location of the repository.
svn://host.name.com/location/of/repo/on/server/
So if your repository is located at /home/username/dev/app1 on server
host.name.com and you are doing an SVN Checkout from the context menu, it
should be OK.
Check that the right ports are open on your server and Windows client
firewalls, and that usernames and access permissions are ok in the
svnserve.conf file.
