Accessing repositories over the office network

[adstar]

You will have to forgive me if I am a little vague. I am not an expert on IT systems and setup, I am a "test dept" who is expanding thier knowledge and abilities at a rate of knots!

My development team need a source code library. So I decided after some research, that tortoisesvn was the way forwards! I have been running a 'test' environment for all my documentation on my pc for a while. This has not been causing any issues.

However, now the time has come to start work on expanding the library and contemplate moving it onto a stand alone server.

I have got the current version of svnserve installed and apparently running.

I have shared the repository to the network, and confirmed this by using a colleagues pc to access the directory.

I have succesfully installed tortoise onto this second pc (It was already succesfully running on my pc)

Initially I was getting the following error on the network pc when using the file://ipaddress/path/directory format to browse the repository (Tortoise repo browser option):

"unable to open un ra_local session to URL. Unable to open repository..."

Further research promted me to try a different format when searching for the repository in the browser window - svn://ipaddress... However, although this returned the errors significantly quicker, I got a different but still obstructive error:

"none existant in that revision"

As you can probably tell, whilst I have some basic IT literacy, I am far from an expert! I am trying to impliment this tool so it can be used very simply over the office network.

Many thanks

Adam.
