RE: contains unsupported hostname msg when importing

RFC stands for Request For Comment. Here some infos http://www.rfc-editor.org/
The docs I referenced can be found at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt and http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt.
They basically define the syntax of url depending on the scheme (http, file, ftp etc.)

If you could substitute path/to/repos with the real path and tell where you created the repository with svnadmin it could simplify everything

Ok,
    I have tried installing cygwin and using it instead of the command line tool. I still get the same errors. Just so you have an idea of the things that I have tried, I listed a small subset of them. None of them work as you can see. Any suggestions? Oh, and what is RFC 1738 and RFC 2396 anyway?
 
Thanks,
Lee

It seem that the url is wrong.
The general url syntax for file scheme is:
file:///<file system path>
On windows platform is:
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.
 
Guido.

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
