Repository access problem

[Alan Lewis <al...@dsl.pipex.com>]

Hi.

I apologise if this is a dumb question, but I'm having trouble with 
"commit" .  I have a XP desktop  with a local  hard disc repos. and 
TortoiseSVN, and Apache 2.0.54 running as a service.  I can see the 
repos. in a browser window but when I try to commit a file TortoiseSVN 
reports "..Can't connect to host 'localhost': No connection could be 
made because the target machine actively refused it".  In the 
TortoiseSVN repos browser, I can see the repository and the entries in 
it, but I always have to type in the URL.  It may be related, but I also 
access a remote repository on a Linux box that I connect to with 
openSSH.  When the ssh link is established, I can view the remote 
repository, but cant commit to it either.

I have 2 working areas on the local hard disc (C:) 1 for local 
repository and the other for remote repository.

What am I doing wrong?

The entry in httpd.conf is:
<Location /repos>
DAV svn
SVNPath C:/SVN_Rep/Optima/Exodus
# AuthType Basic
# AuthName "Subversion repositories"
# AuthUserFile passwd
# AuthzSVNAccessFile svnaccessfile
# Require valid-user
</Location>

All help appreciated.

Alan
