Running the daemon on Windows 2003

Hi,

I have been struggling over this for a few days now. I need to run the SVN over a network, and the way that I can work out should be easiest over our Windows Domain is to run the svnserve.exe daemon. The actual daemon runs fine and everything appears to work in my test environment. What I can't do though, is load the daemon as a windows server 2003 service. When I try to run the daemon as a service, it just refuses to start. I get an error 1053 telling me that the service did not respond to the start request. I get this behaviour in both versions 1.0.9 and 1.1.1 so I just wondered whether anyone else had any experience with running the SVN server in this type of environment and had any ideas that I might try to get it run.

svnserve is not a Win32 service.  You need to use another tool to help
make it run as one.  Fortunately, someone has done this for us:

Hi Brian,

I successfully run svnserve.exe on a windows 2003 server. I manage this
using the FireDaemon software (http://www.firedaemon.com/). Don't forget to
supply -d as command line argument.

Did it work in non-daemon mode, from command line??

Olaf
