New to subversion

Hi,
    I'm very new to subversion (we were working with VSS until now) so 
please pardon the newbie question. :-)
   
I installed subversion with no trouble and got it up and running in no 
time. Repository importing was no problem either. However I am only able 
to access the repository locally. I need to provide access to the 
repository over the internet (access is limited through firewall). I 
checked and re-checked the firewall rules and the connection should go 
through, however I am unable to browse. Do I need Apache mods for this 
or can subversion alone handle this?

Thanks.

More and more brain-dead firewall setups just DROP incoming connections,
instead of sending either TCP RST or ICMP <something>.
So, if the telnet times out, this does not necessarily mean thet there
is no blocking firewall in between.

A quick test for basic connectivity from the client side is:
  telnet server_name_or_address port_number
For svnserve the port number would be 3690.
If you get something like "connection denied" or "connection refused" 
then there is a firewall blocking the port or the server isn't actually 
listening on that port.

Yeah, the port is open, atleast according to the firewall rules. The IP 
is also accessible since there is a web server running on the machine 
and the web server is accessible.

Then this is really a networking question. Is that IP accessible from
the internet? Is there a firewall between the server and the internet,
and if so is port 3690 open & the requests forwarded?

Yes I did read that section and I am running an svnserve server. Like i 
said, local connections, "svn://myip/" (from the same machine) and 
"svn://localhost" are accessible but no access from the internet.

You need to set up and run a server, either an Apache server with  
mod_dav_svn, or an svnserve server. Have you read this section of the  
book?
