Thanks in advance, Rajesh Hi, According to 'Version Control with Subversion', chapter 5, section 'Creating and Configuration Your Repository', the command should resemble: svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs /var/svn/repos Where you specify the path to your repository in place of "/var/svn/repos". It does not understand your current location. HTH, John
Re: svnadmin create repo/path - Error
Hi No, it does. I have run this command on linux (RHEL4) on local path. It creates. However, in this case, even if I mention the full path then also, it is giving this error. Btw, the path is nfs mounted.

When you put a repository on an NFS mount, it must be configured properly for file locking.

1.5.6 has a known security hole, consider upgrading.

Seriously, it's no longer feasible to maintain the current Subversion with that OS. Jump up to RHEL 6, which has subversion-1.6.13, or at least update to RHEL 5 and use Subversion-1.6.16 from the RPMforge repository. The Subversion-1.4.2 that comes with RHEL 4 is dangerously out of date and should not be used in any production environment.
