the simplest possible question

[KEITH GUNN <ke...@mehermail.com>]

Hi, good Samaritans,

I'm new to subversion, but I have a server and a subversion instance
set up on one of my windows vista machines (named lifeware), and a
client on another, connected via the usual network hardware, and able
to see each other through various network protocols. I also have both
Apache and synserve set up on the server., the machine that holds the
repository (mistake, but I leapt before I looked). The server is
showing that it has  running Apache and synserve services.

How did you get this in there? Accessing through a file:// URL? What happens
if you just do something like:

svn ls svn://lifeware

Since you said you have svnserve running. Alternately just try going to
http://lifeware in your web browser. How did you install the server by the
way?

Note it really helps to say what "doesn't work." Does it give some error
message? Does it start to smoke and short out?

A URL must begin with a protocol, like http (if you're serving via  
apache) or svn (if you're serving via svnserve). Then "://" and then  
the server name or IP. Then a slash, and then, depending on how you  
have your server configured, maybe a path to the repository.

For example, The Subversion Repository is at this URL:

http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/

If you want more specific advice for your situation, show us how  
you've set up your apache (what's in your httpd.conf?) and/or svnserve  
(how did you start svnserve?).
