I'm fairly new to FreeBSD and SVN but myself and a few developer friends are undertaking a small project and I've been tasked with getting the source control working. I decided to use FreeBSD for the server for numerous reasons, stability and security among them. I'm no stranger to Unix, however, I've been using Linux for a long time. Anyway, my server is up and running and I've install svn via the ports system (acquire from portsnap). I have set up a repository in /usr/local/svn/repository via "svnadmin create /usr/local/svn/repository" and imported a test project into it via "svn import TestProject file:///usr/local/svn/repository/TestProject". I then fired off the deamon server via "svnserve -d -r /usr/local/svn/repository" which all seems to have worked well. The thing is, I can't actually perform a checkout of the repository via the server. If I move into a temp directory and do "svn checkout file:///usr/local/svn/repository/TestProject" it works fine but if I do "svn svn://127.0.0.1/TestProject" I get an error stating "svn: Can't connect to host '127.0.0.1': Connection refused". Also, if I try and use TortoiseSVN to browse the repository externally I get an error stating "Error * Can't connect to host '192.168.0.10': No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it." Does anyone have any idea what I could be doing wrong? I've been reading the free O'Reilly Subversion book but I'm a bit clueless. I suspect it's something to do with permissions on FreeBSD but I just don't know enough about it =o)
