Getting subversion to work
Posted: Mon Oct 09, 2006 12:29 am
Hi group. Not sure this is the right forum, but I'll try anyway.
I've got svn working fine around the office on our LAN with a Linux / Apache server and mix of Linux and Windows clients.
I'm now trying to install it on our main server so I can share access with offsite developers. I've downloaded and installed it OK and managed to create a respository. I've set up the user accounts and have run svnserve using:
svnserve -d -r /home/default/hostname.com/user/htdocs/svn
where "svn" is the repository.
I'm now trying to connect and checkout using the Tortoise client with "svn://hostname.com/svn" .
I get the error "Can't connect to host....". I'm not quite sure what is going on.
I could be that the svn:: port is not open / listenting (I don't know how to fix this) or it may be something else.
Any hints and help gratefully received.
Cheers,
David
