port question

[maheshwar singh <ma...@hotmail.com>]

Sorry if this question is dumb
 
I have set up my subversion as a service in my Win2003 box, does the default port 3690 serve any purpose or can I use it for a different application.
How do i change the default port?

You are free to use a different port using the --listen-port command line
argument to svnserve.
If you use a different port, then you will have to specify this port at
every client.

hence suppose you change the default port to 3691

then the working copies would have to be checked out using something like
this

svn co svn://<hostname or ipadd>:3691/MyProject/

whereas if you were using the default port only then you wouldnt need to
mention the port number

 svn co svn://<hostname or ipadd>/MyProject/

It serves the purpose that port 3690 is registered to the Subversion  
software by the Internet Assigned Number Authority [1], therefore  
that's the best port number to use for svnserve, and no other  
software should be using that port number.

You can have svnserve use a different port number if you like by  
using its --listen-port option. See the book [2]. You will then also  
have to specify that different port number in the URLs with which you  
access this server. I don't know how or where you specify the -- 
listen-port option when starting svnserve as a Windows service.

If you want to use svn+ssh, then you don't need to start svnserve on  
the server; it will be started for you every time you connect, and  
will be stopped when it's done. The svn+ssh protocol usually uses the  
ssh port, 22. To change this, you can change the port your ssh server  
listens on. I don't know what ssh server is available with Windows or  
how to configure it.

If you want to use Apache to serve your repository instead of  
svnserve, then the usual Apache ports are used instead -- 80 for http  
access, 443 for https access, though of course you can modify the  
Apache configuration to change those port numbers as well if desired.
