Help!! About to give up on subversion...

This is the third time I am posting without getting a reply. Either there is
not much support for svnserve running on Windows or I am just plain unlucky.

 
Following is my problem, once again:
 
My repository root is E:\svn_home on a Windows 2003 Server.
 
When I try to access my repository, locally I got the following message:
 
C:\>svntmp>svn co svn+ssh://localhost/E://svn_home/trunk
svn: Couldn’t determine repository path
 
When I tried this, I got the following message:
C:\>svntmp>svn co svn+ssh://localhost/trunk
svn: No repository found in 'svn+ssh://localhost/trunk'
 
In both the above cases, my SSHD server logs (I have WinSSHD server)
indicated that it executed the command “svnserve –t” in E:/svn_home.
 
However, I was able to access the repository fine like this (when running
SVN server with svnserve –d –r E:/svn_home):
 
C:\>svntmp>svn co svn://localhost/trunk 
 
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to somehow indicate thru SSH tunnel where
my repository root is? If so, how do I do this? Is there a way to have my
SSH server execute “svnserve –t –r E:\svn_home” instead of “svnserve –t”
(presumably this should solve the problem).
 
Unfortunately, we don’t have a Linux server, and being a small company we
cannot afford to buy another server. 
 
Thanks, in advance.

Thanks, once again... You see the link that you gave was in response to a
question I had posted two months back. Unfortunately, I had tried it that
time also but it didn't work. The thing is that I know for sure that my
svnserve is getting started in E:\svn_home (based on WinSSHD logs), it's
just that it still doesn't work. I get the same "Couldn't find repository"
error in that case too.

Anybody doing subversion development have any comment on this problem?

Thanks,

- Himanshu

Maybe you're running into the trap described in
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=7947
(repo must be on the same drive as the user's root)

Try to either move the svn repo to c:\svn_home\svn_repo or make a
junction (c: has NTFS, right?) like

c:\>junction c:\svn_home e:\svn_home

and call

c:\>dir c:\svn_home\svn_repo
c:\>svnserve -d -r c:\svn_home
c:\>svn list file:///c:/svn_home/svn_repo
c:\>svn list svn://localhost/svn_repo
c:\>svn list svn+ssh://localhost/svn_repo
c:\>svn list svn+ssh://localhost/svn_home/svn_repo

What are the results?

I never tried svn+ssh://, I just use svn://, but please try
- - rename svn_home to svn_repo
- - create a folder e:\svn_home
- - move svn_repo to e:\svn_home
to get rid of the absolute filesystem path in the svn url (and as
"svnserve -d -r e:\" - accessing the root of e: didn't work for me)

svn list file:///E:/svn_home/svn_repo/
svnserve –d –r E:/svn_home
svn list svn://localhost/svn_repo/
svn list svn+ssh://localhost/svn_repo/

Does that work?
