TSVN error question

[uv...@aol.com]

Hey all-
I'm new to this Subversion / Tortoisesvn software and setup. Boss at work asked me to setup a Server 2003 box and a client box XP. have them talking to each other etc...... the network part of it is taken care of. now after installing the software i'm getting errors.

The error message i'm getting is:

Subversion reported an error while creating a repository!
Make sure the folder is empty and not write protected.


I'm trying to setup my server 2003 box so that i can get my XP box to see the repositories on the network.
also having problems with creating folder through cmd>
svn mkdir file:\\\c:\AppRepositories\((ProjectName)) 

What would you recommend?

Thanks for the help Mike

To initially create a repository, you need to "svnadmin create" it.  
Have you done that?

Have you read the book? It explains the basics. It's at http:// 
svnbook.org
