I used unmenu to install Subversion on my unraid server.  I used svnadmin to create a repository.  Now I am trying to connect to that repository from TortoiseSVN on my Windows machine and am running into a brick wall. 

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction?  I created the repository at /mnt/disk9/svn_repos if that helps at all.

 

Thanks!

I used unmenu to install Subversion on my unraid server.  I used svnadmin to create a repository.  Now I am trying to connect to that repository from TortoiseSVN on my Windows machine and am running into a brick wall.

I am not familiar with unmenu and the SVN packages installable from it

...SVN would need Apache incl. WebDAV in order to work remotely

with TortoiseSVN. Is this working?...you should be able to see/read

the repository using a webbrowser from outside of unRAID.

 

I am not aware of a good HowTo on SVN and Slackware...there are some for other distros

though on HowToForge....just in case you have some homework to do.

So does no one actually use the Subversion Unmenu add on? 

 

I assumed it used svnserve and didn't need apache.

I used it, but only to get files from an external repository, not to host one.  Not sure what it needs to be the host AND be externally accessed.

..speaking for myself, I don't...

Hm, yes you're right...svnserve would/should also work...are you sure that the

service is running and configured correctly?

Well... I got it working.  Turned out that it was just a matter of svnserve not being started by the subversion add-in.  Added that and now it works like a champ.

If you let me know what needs to be added, I can update the unMENU .conf file to help the next person.

So I think I installed everything correctly and started the svnserve process, but I still cannot seem to be able toaccess it from my PC :'( Is there a user guide on how to use svn with unraid? Here is what I did:

 

From my Unraid console:

    - Created a user share: /mnt/user/svn_repos

    - Created the repository: svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs /mnt/user/svn_repos

    - Started the SVN server: svnserve -d (I also tried svnserve -d -r /mnt/user/svn_repos)

 

From my PC (BTW I have CollabBetSubversion client 1.6.12 installed on my Win7 x64 PC) I tried:

 

c:\workspace> svn import prj_name http://<unraid ip>/prj_name

 

I also tried:

c:\workspace> svn import prj_name http://<unraid ip>/svn/prj_name

 

as well as:

c:\workspace> svn import prj_name http://<unraid ip>/svn_repos/prj_name

 

I always get the same error:

 

svn: OPTIONS of 'http://ungol/svn/MaskingSystem':'>http://ungol/svn/MaskingSystem': Error reading response headers

: connection was closed by server (http://ungol)

 

Can anyone help?

Since you are using svnserve, I think you have to use the svn:// syntax such as

 

svn import prj_name svn://<unraid ip>/prj_name

 

Does tortoise support svn+ssh ?

 

That was you can just go via ssh with no extra complication.

Well that got me closer:) I now get:

 

d:\Workspace>svn status svn://192.168.15.211/MaskingSystem

svn: Can't open file 'svn://192.168.15.211/.svn/entries': The filename, director

y name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

 

 

 

 

You need to use the full path to the repository from the root.

 

Use svn://192.168.15.211/mnt/user/svn_repos to get it working.

I had to use svn+ssh://ip/mnt/user/svn_repos to get write access.

 

Worked fine with TortoiseSVN.

Not sure what you mean by "svn+ssh".
