Repository Location on a FileServer [message #16967] Wed, 23 April 2008 05:49 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi all,

i'm new to subversive, but not to subversion. I want to create a access to
an existing Repository, which lies on a FileServer. Unfortunately, this
subversion is not combined with apache, so that i have to use the
file-Protocol.

That's the problem: Every time i enter the url
file:///\\fileserver\some_path, subversive looks a
d:\...\fileserver\some_path for the repository.

Can someone help me?

Thx
Timothy

I know this is not a solution, but as a temporary workaround, you could map
your SMB server directory to a local drive (e.g. X:\) and then access it via
file://x/some_path

I am not sure about the exact format of the file:// URL in this case and I
am not on Windows right now to try it but I think it would work since as far
as subversion is concerned at this point x:// should be a perfectly normal
local drive.

According to the subversion docs a drive letter is mandatory on windows. The
correct syntax for that is also explained there:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch02s03.html#svn-ch-2-sid ebar-1

(This section was slightly rewritten in later editions of the docs, see e.g.
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.basic.in-action.html)
