Re: Berkeley DB error

All,

I have sorted out the problem myself by using the following command,

svnadmin create --fs-type=fsfs <repo-path>

The above command will help you in creating the repository with the
filesystem not the berkely db. I managed to setup the SVN server... it is
all working fine on the server...

Now the trouble is...

Connecting to the SVN server from the client. I tried running the svnserve
on the server and used the following urls to connect to the server...

svn://IP/

svn://IP/<repository path>

But, no luck. It always came up saying the following, it works fine in
local. Do I need RSH / SSH enabled in the server where SVN server is running
to make it work?

A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly
respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because
connected host has failed to respond.
svn: Can't connect to host 'IP': A connection attempt failed because the
connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or
established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,
Kari...
