I am trying to replicate a setup described in the help file provided with
TortoiseSVN. At the bottom of section "3.1.4 Configuration", in the box Use
SVNParentPath: 'In my company I have direct access to that specific folder on
the server via SMB (normal windows file access). So I just create a new folder
there, run the TortoiseSVN command "create repository here..." and a new project
has a home...'
Sweet ... but try as I might, I can't seem to get this to work. If I create the
repository on the linux (Fedora Core 2) box, I can do "Daily Operations" with
TortoiseSVN, no problem. But if I create the folder in W2KPro and "Create
Repository here" with TortoiseSVN, I get an error as follows:
Browsing the repository with Mozilla:
"This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it.
The document tree is shown below.
- <D:error>
<C:error/>
<m:human-readable errcode="160029"> Could not open the requested SVN
filesystem </m:human-readable>
</D:error>
TotoiseSVN (Repo-Browser):

Server configuration:
Fedora Core 2, Apache, mod_ssl, subversion, mod_dav_svn (FC2+up2date)
mod_auth_pam downloaded from http://pam.sourceforge.net/mod_auth_pam/
SVNParentPath=/export/svnroot
Samba share:
ADS member server, /export/svnroot is shared with "force user = apache"
The subversion book, Chapter 5, has a warning: 'Do not create your repository on
a network share—it cannot exist on a remote filesystem such as NFS, AFS, or
Windows SMB.'
Since our shop is very windows-centric, the usage patter described in the
Tortoise configuration example above would be perfect. Any tips/comments on
creating repositories on samba shares would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Murthy
