Re: svn: Can't connect to host '127.0.0.1': Connection refused - ?

Hi WOB,

Just a guess, but we had reports that on some OS's, the daemon by
default only binds to a IPv6 Port and not a regular IPv4.

"localhost" resolves to an IPv6 address (::1), but 127.0.0.1 and
192.168.* are IPv4.

You seem to run svnserver through a service wrapper, I guess you should
setup the bind address(es) there.

A good starting point would be to list all open ports on your machine by
running
        netstat -anp | grep LISTEN

(this is Linux syntax, dunno whether your netstat accepts the same
commands, please adapt if necessary)

HTH,
