RE: contains unsupported hostname msg when importing

It seem that the url is wrong.
The general url syntax for file scheme is:
 <file:///> file:///<file system path>
On windows platform is:
 <file:///> file:///<drive letter>:/dir1/dir2....
On unix
file:///dir1/dir2....
 
I have seen many post for troubles caused by incorrect url syntax..
I suggest the reading of RFC 1738 and RFC 2396.

Subject: contains unsupported hostname msg when importing

Hey,

            I am new to subversion and I have only used cvs a little in the past so sorry if the answer to my question is obvious. I am using Win XP and I am working from the command line. I have read the first two chapters in the book and I am trying to get through the Quick Start part. This is what I have done so far:

I first created a \path\to directory in a Subversion folder on my C: drive (note: The Quick Start page in the book does not say to do this, but it needs to be done, so it might be a good idea to add that step to the book)

I then typed:

C:\...\Subversion> svnadmin create .\path\to\repos

I then created the directories (tmp\project\branches, tmp\project\trunk, tmp\project\tags) and files that were suggested by the Quick Start.

The problem happens when I type this:

C:\...\Subversion>svn import .\tmp\project file://./path/to/repos -m "initial import"

I get this back:

svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL

svn: Local URL 'file://./path/to/repos' contains unsupported hostname

Again, I apologize if this is an obvious question. I have tried many ways to type that command but nothing seems to work.

Thanks,

Lee
