Hi, I have confirmed that svnserve is up and running as a daemon. I'm able to use it locally (on the server itself) and I am also able to connect to the repository using Tortoise SVN from a Windows Vista machine by using the svn+ssh method.
Yet the Subversion book indicates this is not the best method and accordingly, I'd like to connect without the ssh method (I will then add SASL afterwards). I have chosen this method particularly over the Apache method as it is, per the book, a more simple set up. My repository is located at /var/svn/repos I am attempting to connect to it by using svn://<myserver.com>/var/svn/repos and I get: 'No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it." I have confirmed svnserve listens on the default port, and that port is open in iptables and on my router. Thanks for any help you can provide, George
