newbie question
I'm running Mac OS X. I've created a subversion user and created the
repository under that userid. The subversion userid is otherwise not
used.
I started the server like this:
svnserve -d -r /Users/subversion/repos
But when I login as myself and try to create the project file I get an
error:
bash-3.2$ svn mkdir http://localhost/MyApp -m 'create project file'
svn: OPTIONS request failed on '/'
svn: OPTIONS of '/': could not connect to server (http://localhost)
bash-3.2$
(I also tried specifying the full path but got the same results.)
I've either missed something obvious or am doing something very stupid.
Any help appreciated,
Jim

No, I haven't done any user configuration at all; I didn't realize
that was necessary :-(
I guess I'll have to go back to the book.
Thanks.

Check your svnserve.conf file (in the conf directory in the
repository directory) and check the password file configured with its
password-db directive. Have you configured your users properly?

Thanks, I knew it was something stupid. Things are improving but now I
get this:
bash-3.2$ svn mkdir svn://localhost/MoveMe/trunk,branches,tags -m
'create project file'
svn: Authorization failed
bash-3.2$

If you are using svnserve, then your repository URLs will begin with
svn:// not http:// . http:// URLs are only used if you are serving
your repositories using apache2.
