Re: Subversion server on Fedora 2

Hi Dave,

It's best to send queries to the list rather than to an individual, that
way you're much more likely to get a quick and useful response...

As far as I remember, I just installed the 'subversion' and 'mod_dav_svn'
packages, and followed the setup instructions in the subversion book:

   http://svnbook.red-bean.com/

It might be helpful if you could post an exact transcript of the commands
you're typing... if you want to access the repositories via apache, you'll
need to ensure that the httpd.conf file points to the repositories (as
described in the book), and use URLs that begin http://... when accessing
the repositories.

No, I haven't seen this problem... my set up has one linux box running FC2
with the Fedora RPMs of subversion (running the server via mod_dav_svn);
the clients (on the same box, on a WinXP box and an OpenBSD box) connect
via http. I only have a single repository. I have had no problems at all
with Subversion (at least, none that couldn't have been avoided by reading
the documentation more closely!).

I hope this helps...

Patrick
