Nice one Evan, really useful to know its possible! You'll even be forgiven for that wild hair of yours...just kidding.

Thanks,

Ross

Evan,

I read through your documentation. I cannot find the svn-1.4.6-setup.exe on the Internet. I looked over the CollabNet, Tigris, SlikSVN, and VisualSVN sites with no luck. Where do you recommend I find the Subversion setup file? I'm running Windows Server 2008 x64.

Evan,

I found the file (google.com svn-1.4.6-setup.exe) and followed your instructions and installed the subversion repository on our Windows Server 2008 x64 server. Ultimately our goal is to be-able to connect to my repository over the Internet securely. I have downloaded and instaled the tortoise svn and went into the repo browser. I've typed in our server name: www.ourservername.com/svn_repository but we get an error OPTIONS of 'www.ourservername.com/svn_repository could not connect to server (www.ourservername.com) Do you have any advice on how to expose the Subversion Repository to the Internet?

Best,

Dustin Frost

I like to spend much time in the Internet, but, unfortunately not often find something worthy and interesting to read. I liked the way you covered the topic and depth with which you explain these important things.

I'd like to recommend my torrents search engine torrents.rapid4me.com . Hope you will like it.

Thanks to you I came a long way, but not to the end. Luckily I found it myself and feel I must share this. I use a more recent version (1.6.5) and it didn't work.

telnet localhost 3690

did work, but the same from another computer only gave timeouts. nmap showed the server wasn't listening.

netstat -a

showed that only :: listened on 3690. So I added

--listen-host 0.0.0.0

to the svnserve parameters and this made it al work.

This worked great! I didn't have success w/ 1.6.5, but I didn't really understand what Jan was saying. 1.4.6 worked great just as described.

As far as accessing over the internet [Dustin Frost], I wouldn't think this would be difficult. Try forwarding port 3690 on your router to the IP address of your core server machine.

Yes, I know that is so easy, at first I thought damn I cant do this stuff, but now it seems how the hell didnt I figure it out at the first place.

Jans hint about --listen-host 0.0.0.0 was essential to me. I searched several hours for a reason, why the new W2k8 x64 refused connection from all my clients.

Thanks a lot!
