Unable to connect to SVN repository
Hello,
I am a brand new SVN user - day 3.
Following the documentation, I installed and configured a repository and
imported some test data into it. I can access the repository on the SVN
host using the "file:/// <file:///\\> " convention but access the
repository using the TortoiseSVN client (1.7.9) from a client PC.
The error message is: URL 'svn://X.XX.XXX.XXX/Sandbox_SVN_Repo' doesn't
exist
>From the client PC, I can
- Ping the SVN host where the repository is located
- Telnet to port 3690 OK
- On the SVN host, the repository was created using the
TortoiseSVN 1.7.9 (64 Bit client)
- - On the client PC, I am using TortoiseSVN 1.7.9 (32 Bit
client)
- SVN: 1.7.6 / TortoiseSVN: 1.7.9
I am using the vanilla SVN connection - so there's no authentication
required. I've also restarted the "svnserver service on SVN repo host"
as well as rebooted the server.
Can anyone please advise as to what might be going on?
Thank you.
Omair

Not if all repos are in the folder which is provided by root, that's
how I do it. I don't even know if root can be used to serve only one
repo.

No.
svnserve will try to access repositories relative to the path you
pass for --root, by appending to --root the path which follows the
hostname part given in the svn:// URL.
So you need to pass the parent directory of your repositories as
--root parameter, rather than the repository itself. Then you can
access each repository by using its name in the svn:// URL.

This is the syntax I used to create the service. The "D:\MUXBOPCS" is the name of our production repo. It's empty right now. I created a test repo on the same server called "Sandbox_SVN_Repo" which has a couple of dirs & files in it.
Do I need to create a "svnserve" for each repo?
C:\Users\>sc create svnserve binpath= "\"D:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\svnserve.exe\" --service --root D:\MUXBOPCS" displayname= "Subversion Server" depend= tcpip start= auto
[SC] CreateService SUCCESS

What's the exact path to your created repo and how is svnserve started? Normally you have to provide the root path for your repos, like in my example:
C:\Programme\CollabNet\Subversion Client\svnserve --service --listen-port 3690 --root "D:\Subversion\Quellen"

What parameters are you passing to svnserve?
There is probably a mismatch between where the -r option says the
repository is and the URL you're trying to use.
