I have a RedHat 6 enterprise server that I have installed SVN 1.6 on. This machine is not on a network and has never been on a network. Eventually, it will be added to a network but not right now.
I am running svnserve to provide access to the repository.
svnserve is started as,
svnserve -d
When I run the command, svn co svn://localhost/<project name>
I get the error message, "svn: E000111" Can't connect to host 'localhost': connection refused.
netstat confirms that svn is listening on 0.0.0.0:3690.
I have read it pays to be more explicit with svnserve so I started it as follows,
svnserve -d --listen-port 3690 --listen-host 0.0.0.0 (also tried 127.0.0.1)
I get the same connection refused error message when trying to checkout.
Next I tried checking out directly with the ip address rather than a hostname,
svn co svn://127.0.0.1/<project>
The error message I get back is nonsensical, "svn: E670009: unknown hostname '127.0.0.1'".
At this point I am stumped. I can't seem to perform a checkout using the "svn://" protocol. I have already disabled the ipv4 and ipv6 firewalls.
Any thoughts?
