No, I'm using ssh to a. create the repository, then b. launch svnserve I'm trying to connect using either svnX or TortoiseSVN (I like working on multiple OS at the same time :) )
So, after I SSH'd in: I did svnadmin create svn - created the directory <server>/svn with all of the appropriate directories, from the looks of it. The permissions on the svn directory are rwxr-xr-x, which may be a problem? svnadmin and svnserve have both been launched from the same account (the owner of the svn directory). svnserve.conf was modified to uncomment the following lines: anon-access = read (actually I currently have this set to write to see if it helped, but it didn't) auth-access = write password-db = passwd authz-db = authz nothing else was modified/uncommented and the like. passwd was edited to add a line of the sort: <username> = <password> authz was modified to create a group including <username> and the following line was added, as well: [repository: /svn] @<groupdefined earlier> = rw Then I launch svnserve -d Attempt to connect with svnX and get an Authentication Failed. I think that's all of the pertinent details. ---------------------------------- Concepts create idols; only wonder grasps anything. - St. Gregory of Nyssa Jeffrey Lee j...@lee-burgin.com On May 13, 2010, at 10:15 AM, Bob Archer wrote: >> My webhosting service installed SVN on my account (for my domain).
