Repository Browser Cannot Connect
Mike Walsh
added the relevant lines to the Apache config file, then installed
TortoiseSVN using TortoiseSVN-1.4.8.12137-win32-svn-1.4.6.msi.
I created a test repository with the TortoiseSVN menu item, and I can
view it in web browsers (HTTP), but when I try to view it the Tortoise
Repo-Browser (SVN), it does not work. It hangs with the "Please wait
whie the repository browser is initialized..." message for a while and
eventually (a looong time) it says that it could not connect.
I should point out that I am using Apache 2.2 on port 8080, so the URL
is svn://localhost:8080/svn/testrep/
I also tried svn//name:pass@localhost:8080/svn/testrep/ (after
enabling URL embedded logins) in case authorization was the problem,
but that didn't work, and I even tried disabling authorization
altogether without success.
TCPView shows that the repo-browser is connected on port 8080, but I'm
still not getting anything.
Any ideas on what's wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks a lot.

No, when using Apache the URL should be http:// or https://. svn:// is
used when accessing the stand alone svnserve.

There's your problem. svn:// protocol is used by svnserve.exe. Apache
uses http:// so your server will not see it.

Ah, I see. I thought http was for web browsers and the repo-browser
used the specialized protocol. Oops. Although, I did try http as well
and I could swear it didn't work either. Well in any case it is
working now. Thanks.
I am having another problem though, that is the same in both the repo-
browser and web browser. I can access individual repositores now, but
I get a 403-forbidden error when trying to access the root (/svn/).
Isn't there a way to view a list of available repositories?

That page says that it works in web browsers, but I get a 403 in a web
browser as well. Is there at least a way to return something more
graceful, like a custom error page or something.

You have to set the SVNListParentPath directive to allow Subversion to
show a list of repositories in your apache config.
