Re: Subversion installation help required - for accessing SVN via clients from Windows/TortoiseSVN to Linux SVN server

Thanks for the replies. Some answers and more questions:

>Is there a firewall running on the system that may be blocking external
access to the SVN port?

Not sure yet. Will be checking that out on both the Windows side and the
Linux server side.

> Can you issue svn commands from a windows command prompt (after installing
the windows SVN package)?

Downloaded the windows SVN package. Tried the svn command-line client.
It gives the same errors as the TortoiseSVN client:

C:\Program Files\Subversion1.3.2\bin>svn list
svn://dev.foo.com/home/foo_dev/foo/development/app01
svn: Can't read from connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed
by the remote host.

Before trying the above (SVN access from Windows to the SVN repository on
the Linux server via TSVN and command-line commands), I had run the command
"svnserve -d" on the Linux VPS server (as root), and done a "ps -f | grep -i
svnserve" which showed the svnserve process running.

really weird results.
My Windows Subversion package is installed in C:\Program
Files\Subversion1.3.2\. Is the comfig file you mention on the Windows side
or the Linux side? I could not see any config files in the above directory.
Do they have to be manually created?

Thanks
