Now back at home where I have a 180 day evaluation Windows Server 2016, on which there is no Apache running. So I tried to install VisualSVN on this server instead. But when I got to the "Inital Server Configuration" page I got an error message when I hit Next saying that port 443 is occupied by another service. I believe that the culprit is the IIS server that is part of Windows Server 2016, but I cannot confirm this nor can I prove it because "netstat -abp tcp" does not show the owner of the port. If I use the dropdown for "Server Port" the only alternative seems to be 8443... What will happen if I select this port instead? Will I then have a non-standard SVN installation? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden

Yes.

VisualSVN Server users successfully migrate from CVSNT to VisualSVN Server.

Does this mean that there are GUI tools for andministering such things as path dependent permissions and user accounts? I need to import a lot of projects, which were managed by CVSNT in separate repositories (for user permission reasons). It looks likely I will put them all into a single SVN repository as top-level projects, or else in projects located in subdirectories named as the old repositories used (i.e one level down). What is your advice regarding the procedure to get the CVSNT projects into VisualSVN? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden

There should be no issues. Just make sure that you select an available server port in the installation wizard.

Setting up VisualSVN server - how to integrate to existing Apache
I started to install an SVN server on my Windows7 PC using VisualSVN. But I did not get an option to install using svnserve, so I think it will try to install Apache on my PC. But I already run Apache on it (2.2.22 and I don't want the SVN test server to overwrite the existing Apache... How can I install SVN server on Windows 7 without using Apache or let VisualSVN integrate itself to the existing Apache? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden
