[SOLVED] subversion problems

Greetings all,

I've been at this problem for several days now, and I can't seem to find a solution on the net or these boards so I'll post my issues. Hopefully someone will be able to help me.

I currently have a server box running arch with a bunch of standard server services: apache, ssh, ftp, postfix, blah blah blah..and now, svn and websvn. Here's my problem:

When I go to check out revision 0 of any of my repositories, I get the error:

Command - Checkout from http://192.168.1.9:4711/repos/svn/first, revision HEAD, Fully recursive, Externals included
ERROR    - OPTIONS of 'http://192.168.1.9:4711/repos/svn/first': Could not read status
ERROR    - line: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
ERROR    - (http://192.168.1.9:4711)
Finished!

I'm using Windows7 and TortoiseSVN to checkout/checkin repos. (or trying to) Yet, I get the same error with the console command "svn checkout ..." on any of my linux machines on my network.

Maybe someone could help me out with setting this up or point me to some tutorial. Any post or help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] subversion problems

At a guess, are you supposed to be using SSL for access?
i.e.:

https://192.168.1.9:4711/repos/svn/first

If not, do you have a firewall running on that server (or your PC) that could be interfering?

Re: [SOLVED] subversion problems

@ iFSS: Thanks for the reply. I do not have it set up for SSL -- My first attempt at a setup was with the SSL configuration given by the tutorial (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Subversion_Setup), I didn't keep these settings because I figured it'd be easier without them. I am not running a firewall on my server and the same problem occurs if I drop my firewall on my windows system. I read somewhere that it might be a problem with my anti-virus, but disabling AVG results with the same error.

I'll mess with it some more today. My server at work is running Subversion, so maybe I could compare and contrast my configuration, possibly tracking down my problem. Any other help/suggestions would be greatly appropriated.

Re: [SOLVED] subversion problems

Ahh, I got it to work. I followed the tutorial again with the SSL. I had the URL wrong.

I originally had: http://192.168.1.9/repos/svn/first

And it should be: https://192.168.1.9/svn/first

Also, I did "chown -R http.http svn/" and I think that might have helped. Sorry for being bad.
