Hello,

I install my repository on Windows 7. Before, on Windows XP I didn't have any problems, all was OK with the default options.

But on Windows 7, when I want to update my folder from another PC, I have the error "E730060 unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn://PCName'".

On the server, I can update with the adress "svn://localhost" (I use a service). I check the firewall, antivirus, right on the repository folder.

Can you have an idea to help me ?

Thanks,
Jimmsr

Sounds like a network or firewall issue. Can you connect to the remove server using the sv:// protocol from an XP machine? Just to verify your server can be reached remotely?

I'm on the same network. I disabled firewall on each computer.
I can't create a remote control on the Windows 7 PC, I have an access to the share folder (but I don't think it's the same problem).

Do you have another idea to help me?

Could it be a permission issue of the user running svnserve? I don't
know about Win7, but perhaps it needs to be run as "local system".

According to this blogpost
<http://www.renaissance-design.net/2010/installing-and-configuring-svnserve-and-tortoisesvn-on-windows/>,
svnserve will listen to IPv6 connections where supported, and needs to
be told to listen for IPv4 connections explicitely by giving the option
"--listen-host=0.0.0.0".

Does that help?

I see another problem, I think it's the same. If you can help me to solved it, I think the second is solved too :

My computer on Windows XP is named ComputerA
My computer on Windows 7 is named ComputerB

On the both, I install svn, create a repository, and create a service to say that svn:localhost is ok.

On each computer, if I create a new folder and update with the local repository, with the adress svn:localhost, all is ok.

On the ComputerA (Windows Xp), if I create a new folder and update with local repository with the adress svn://ComputerA, all is ok.

But on the ComputerB (Windows 7), if I create a new folder and update with local repository with the adress svn://ComputerB, I have the same error.

Do you know why ?

Thanks,

are you sure firewall is off?
if, from ComputerB, you can access localhost but not ComputerB, it must be because of firewall.

For information, I install the service with the SVNServiceSetup-0.7.0.msi file that you can find in the site of tigris.org

I let all with default options. I change only in the svnserve.conf file (of my repository) the line
# anon-access = read
by
anon-access = write

To authorize all users to commit.

Sounds like you are not running svnserver on ComputerB.

Although I'm not sure why you have repositories on Workstation PCs.

Because it's for a project.

I must synchronize two folders between two Workstation PCs. I don't have server and I don't want to install IIS on a workstation (too complicate, I prefer SVN Service).

Just for information, I find why the remote control doesn't work on my Windows 7 : I have a Home Premium edition (without Remote Desktop).

The svnserver running on my ComputerB (Windows 7) because I can checkout a folder with the address svn://localhost

Do you have another idea to help me ?

I try to desactivate IPv6 on Windows 7 but I have always the same problem.

Anybody have the same configuration ? (A repository on a Windows 7 ?)

Let's see if and how svnserve replies: try

C:\> telnet <NameOrIp> 3690

from the command prompt and post the result here. Try the computer name
and the IP, perhaps the name cannot be resolved.

Just for information, on Windows XP, this test is ok. Telnet passed with ip address or hostname or localhost.
So what is the difference between XP and 7 for solved this problem ?

You should only have the repository on 1 computer not both. Your message seem to indicate you have it on both.

Set up svnserve to run on a single PC not both. Just on the PC with the repository.

On that PC you will access the repository with svn://localhost/whatever

On the other PC you will access the repository with svn://pcnameorip/whatever

I'm not sure this matters but I think svnserve needs to run as a user that has access to the network... like System or network service. How are you running svnserve? As a service or just from the command line? Svnserve is constantly running right? (Yes, I know these seem like basic questions but you seem to have a basic issue).

You can ping one machine from the other and vice-versa right?

SVNServe run with the Service that you can download on tigris.org

The service is constanly running. It's the reason why I can update on this PC with the address svn://localhost
So this part is ok.

I can ping the machine from other and vice-versa.

>You should only have the repository on 1 computer not both. Your message seem to indicate you have it on both.

I have a repository only on 1 computer. I have one on a Windows XP just for test (and all is ok for it).

I thing there are a big difference between Windows XP and 7 for this configuration.

I don't know what that means? I know you are running svnserve.exe from tigris.org but are you running it as a windows service or just running it from the command line?

What user is the service running as? What credentials does it run with?

Is svnserve running on the XP machine or the Windows 7 machine?

Can you reverse that and see if it works? I don't see though why it would matter. If the machines can ping each other.

I assume you have turned off IPv6 on your windows 7 machine... or started svnserver with the:

--listen-host 0.0.0.0

Command line switch?

I find my problem. When I configure the SVNService, I put in the section "Listen Host" the value "localhost" (default value).
I didn't see it the first time.

I change it with the value "PCName" and all is ok.


Thanks for all.
