I installed svn on my remote Windows 2008 server, the ip is 41.139.540.60 for example. Now, using Tortoise SVN on the server itself works using svn://localhost/. I can open the repo browser and so on. Now, how do I connect to that svn from my local PC? I tried svn://41.139.540.60, but it did not work, the message I got was the the server did not respond and thus connection failed. I cant ping the IP, so its a server issue I guess.
What else is needed to make it run?
Thanks :)
The guide I used was: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2008/04/setting-up-subversion-on-windows.html
svn://
protocol runs on TCP port 3690
, so make sure your remote Windows Server 2008 allows clients to connect to this port.
An other option is to install Apache + mod_svn on your Windows 2008 server and connect to your repositories with https://
rather than svn://
Here is a useful guide for installing Apache and mod_svn
As you already installed SVN itself, you can start from section 2.3
You may want to make sure that your Windows 2008 server has the proper firewall settings. Check the following ports:
svn:// port 3980
http:// port 80
ssh+svn:// port 22
depending on your configured protocol(s) for accessing the svn server, you should adapt the firewall ports on the Windows 2008.
I think that guide only works for local users...
try this out: http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-serversetup-svnserve.html
or using svn+ssh http://csoft.net/docs/svn.html.en
Check the video once
config SVN server on localhost
Check the following ports:
svn:// port 3980
http:// port 80
ssh+svn:// port 22
