Sorry to hear that! I found the Red Bean book quite clear and helpful, starting with no version control background. > All of the examples seem to have everything on a single box, I haven't read Pragmatic Version Control but in the Red Bean book that's certainly not the case.

That should not be. What happens otherwise?

Set up a server: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.serverconfig.html Then just access the repository's URL. Depending on what server you choose, your URL might begin with http, https, svn or svn+ssh. > Question 3, What is the default port for svn? It depends on the protocol you use: http: 80 https: 443 svn: 3690 svn+ssh: 22 For any of these you can change the port to something nonstandard if desired.
