Problems connecting to existing SVN Repository

[Rich Keller]

Hi. I'm trying to connect to an existing SVN repository using the "New Repository Location" dialog box.  When I enter my information, I get the error "Location information has been specified incorrectly. Unable to locate a login configuration.  Keep location anyway?"

Can you provide any insight as to when this error is generated so I can attempt to debug? My Tortoise client seems to believe that there is a repository at the URL I provided to Subversive, and Tortoise can retrieve the files with the authentication information I provided to Subversive.

Rich; We'll need to know a bit more about your setup to help you out.
What version and edition of TBC and what OS are you using? Also make
sure you follow the SVN install directions at
http://www.topquadrant.com/products/TB_SVN_Install.html.

Insofar as the CVS server is concerned, the Help files for the
Subversive User Guide may prove useful, particularly Workbench User
Guide > Tasks > Working in the team environment with CVS > Working
with a CVS repository > Creating a CVS repository location.

I'm using TopBraid Composer Standard Edition on Windows XP. But I hadn't followed the SVN install directions, so perhaps Subversive is not actually installed?  I had thought that since I could access the SVN Repository Browser, Subversive was already installed.  Rich

Rich; Yes, the additional install process is necessary due to
licensing restrictions. A link to the instructions is found on the
TBC download page (http://www.topquadrant.com/products/TB_install.php)
to reference the fact that additional steps are needed to use SVN.

Scott - SVN appears to be installed completely. No installation wizard
appears in step 2 of the instructions at http://www.topquadrant.com/products/TB_SVN_Install.html.
Instead I get a 'Checkout from SVN' dialog. When I enter the URL and
my credentials I get the same message: "Location information has been
specified incorrectly. Unable to locate a login configuration Keep
location anyway?"

Rich; In my experience, this occurs when I specify an incorrect URL
for the SVN repository. Make sure that is right - e.g. using 'https'
instead of 'http'. Also check with the SVN repository you are
connecting to to make sure you have the right URL and it is set up for
remote connections.

Scott - FYI The systems staff here helped me resolve this SVN issue.
The resolution involved reverting to an earlier version of SVNKit:
1.2.2. See diagnosis below, Rich

P.S. We did find other SVN repositories where the current version of
SVNKit worked, but apparently not with the particular repository I
needed.

Thanks for the update, Rich. We can look into this an modify the
install instructions as needed.
