About a month ago I had svn set up on a server and I could use tortoise svn normally to import, checkout, etc. Then I didn't use it for a couple of weeks. Then I needed it again so I tried to use it and found out someone had turned off the computer (or maybe it went off in a power outage). I turned it on again but now I'm getting the following message when trying to use the repo-browser: "No repository found in svn://<server ip>/repositories/project".

I can ping the ip and I can connect to the svn server using a putty session and I've even created another repository in it, but I can't use tortoise svn with it. I've used the "svn://<server ip>/repositories/project" path in the past and it had worked.

Can anyone help? Do I maybe have to reset some setting in tortoise or svn?

Is svnserve running on the server? Try telnetting to port 3960.

If you're using putty/ssh to connect to the server, shouldn't the url
start with svn+ssh:// instead of just svn:// ?

Thanks to you both for replying so swiftly. I've figured out my problem(it was silly). I must have set it up sometime in the past to not need the "/repositories" part in the path. I can use it fine with svn://<server ip>/​project. Thanks again.
