New Server can't get my SVN back online
Current Server is Windows Server 2019 Essentials
Old Server that ran SVN for years was Windows Server 2012... still have old machine it was running on vmware
It has been so long since I tried to get it going I can't exactly remember what I did.
I used just plain subversion
https://"Server address":3690/svn<https://filemaker.definitiveconcepts.com:3690/svn>
Says please wait while repository browser is initializing... never comes back

Well, I guess that means you've figured out the path to your repository.
You should check if you have more repos in the same directory.
Now continue with the steps in the SVN book to create a service for
svnserve serving that repository (
https://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.serverconfig.svnserve.html#svn.serverconfig.svnserve.invoking.winservice
).
Please note that in Subversion "repository" is the central database (on the
server) where you have all your versioning data. The folder where you do
your actual work is a "working copy" and it only contains the current
revision of each file. This is a characteristic of a "centralized version
control software" compared to a "distributed version control software" (for
example git).
The "relocate" (as referenced in the other mail) is used when you have
moved the repository (ie, changed the URL, for example server name) and you
need to point your working copy to a new URL. This may or may not be
required in your case depending on if the new server has inherited the ip
address and/or the server name of the old server.
Kind regards,
Daniel

K made some progress figured out why I didn’t have command line and got them installed
Did this
C:\Users\jhart>svnadmin create d:/P-Drive/SVN/DCI-Repo
svnadmin: E165002: 'D:\P-Drive\SVN\DCI-Repo' is an existing repository
Next step ?

This is a snapshot of my server. I don’t have a directory on C:\SVN
I assuming that is critical
How do I load that portion correctly
C:\SVN is just an example of a directory for your repository - you need to replace this with your actual path (which you need to select based on your disk space requirements, backup policy etc).
You should be able to just copy the folder from your old server - provided that you make sure no-one is accessing the repository (for example by disabling the svnserve service).
Kind regards,

Your URL is a bit ambiguous; it says "https" while at the same time using the port 3690. The port number indicates that you want to use the svn:// protocol - but it is of course possible to configure a http server on port 3690, although a bit unusual.
If you would like to use the svn:// protocol, you must configure svnserve to listen to that port. Check the svn book: https://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.serverconfig.svnserve.html#svn.serverconfig.svnserve.invoking.winservice
(You must also configure the Windows Firewall to allow svnserver/port 3690 through the firewall).
If you want to use the https:// protocol, you must setup a web server to listen to port 3690.
Kind regards,
Daniel

K I’m lost
Can’t tell exactly what you are telling me to do
At this point it doesn’t work so if I start over and import or relocate from old server will it hurt ?
If this is a good idea where do I start from … online say use relocate command but I don’t see that when I right click and go to Tortisesvn menu
I currently have my old server that had svn working running and on the same network as the new server that I’m trying to move it to. Old server is at x.x.0.10 new is at x.x.0.99
I don’t see how to install the command line tools
