Error 1053 when starting svnserve as a service on WinXP

["Carroll G. Dase" <cd...@drivven.com>]

I noticed a thread with the same title started last September.

I could not tell from the thread if Grant Rettke ever was able to start his
svnserve as a WinXP service without the 1053 error.

I am getting the same error as Grant after I do this:

sc create svnserve binpath= "C:\Subversion\svn-win32-1.4.3\bin\svnserve.exe
--service --root S:\Repository" displayname= "Subversion" depend= tcpip
start= auto

Then I attempt to start the service and I get the 1053 error.

I have found that when I leave off the --root option, the service will start
successfully.  However, I read where you must use the root option if your
svnserve install and repository are on two different drives.  My S:\ drive
is physically located on a SimpleShare NAS drive.  I also tried using a UNC
path with the root option and got the same error.

I can run svnserve as a daemon and everything works fine, including the root
option.  Therefore it seems to be a --service option problem.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug with the --service option
combined with the --root option?

Thanks,
Carroll

You'll need to make sure you use a UNC path, setup a user that has the
network permissions to get to that path, and then setup the svnservice
to run as that user.  The default user for services has no network
rights at all.
