Need Help with SVN and A Small Orange...

[Littleodie914]

Ah you're right, it wasn't running. Weird, since I don't remember ever actually stopping it.

But do I need to know where the SVN repo is located? Or will svnserve handle that? Because now I'm having the issue:

craig-otiss-imac:~ Craig$ svn ls --username teamsoftware svn://craigotis.com/
svn: No repository found in 'svn://craigotis.com'

The problem is that the process can be stopped at any moment by the webhosts. They may decide to kill the process for some unknown but valid reason or they reboot the server.

But do I need to know where the SVN repo is located? Or will svnserve handle that? Because now I'm having the issue:

The repo will be wherever you put it. When you ran the 'svnadmin create' command, you would have specified a directory. When you run svnserve, you need to specify the same directory just after the '-r' flag. So if you did this:

svnadmin create myrepo

then you'd have to do this:

svnserve -d -r myrepo

If you can afford it, you might just look into a virtual private server (VPS)...that would give you that authority to create all of the accounts that you need.

Even if you get this hackneyed single user svn account working, you'll all still be working on the same checkout, which means you lose most of the subversion awesomeness.

Well I'm trying to get multi-user SVN working, that's the point of svnserve, right?

At this point I'm getting various errors when I try to connect:

Craigs-MacBook:~ Craig$ svn co svn://www.craigotis.com ./testRepo
svn: Connection closed unexpectedly
Craigs-MacBook:~ Craig$ svn co http://www.craigotis.com ./testRepo
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/'
svn: PROPFIND of '/': 405 Method Not Allowed (http://www.craigotis.com)
Craigs-MacBook:~ Craig$

I think I'm getting close though... Maybe?

Edit: Figured it out, I had to use http://www.craigotis.com/teamRepo as my repository location, and then it checked everything out fine. Turns out both errors were really 404's, just cleverly disguised as something else.
