SVN on an alternate port

[Dave Hoefler <dh...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I've been trying to get Subversion to work correctly on my Ubuntu box
running on an alternate port. I've had no luck so far. It works just
fine when I'm inside my network. I can also ssh just fine on an
alternate port which I've set up in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.
This works when I'm outside of my network as well. However, when I'm
trying to checkout out a project outside of my network (at the coffee
shop, at school, at work (where I know all the ports are open),
etc...) I keep getting this error:


antrover:~/RubyProjects dhoefler$ svn checkout
svn+ssh://dhoefler@XX.XXX.XX.XX/home/svn/repos/rlog rlog
ssh: connect to host XX.XXX.XX.XX port 22: Connection refused
subversion/libsvn_ra_svn/marshal.c:252: (apr_err=210002)
svn: Connection closed unexpectedly


I've tried editing the /etc/services file to change the default ports
of ssh and svn to alternate ports. Of course I've restarted the ssh
service numerous times (<b>sudo invoke-rc.d ssh restart</b>). I've
followed these instructions
(http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.serverconfig.svnserve.html
) on getting SVN to work on an alternate port. Still no luck.

I've tried running svn as a daemon with an alternate port:

svnserve -d --listen-port=43369

I even tried creating a new tunnel within the
/home/svn/rlog/repos/conf/svnserve.conf that looks like:

[tunnels]
dhoefler = $DHOEFLER /opt/alternate/ssh -p XXXXX

Still no luck. I have no idea why this isn't working.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you!
Dave Hoefler

Usually, when you use svn+ssh://, svnserve does not need to listen on
any port - this is sshd's duty. sshd is usually run as a daemon and not
in inetd mode, so changing any numbers here does not have any effect
(you did not tell whether you run sshd in inetd mode, so I just assume
this).

The problem may be that you checkout command tries to use the default
port for svn+ssh:// and you need to tell it explicitly to use another. I
good guess would be to try this command:

$ svn checkout svn+ssh://user@host:port/path

... and insert the appropriate values for your setup.

Regards,
