I have setup svnserve server (1.6.5,plain, without apache) on Fedora.
The users, who has accounts in same machine want to checkout a working copy. I have
read svnbook and other sites and found file:/// access method is being used to checkout as

svn checkout file:///var/svn/repos/myproject/trunk myproject ( ref:svnbook)

I am little confused! As svnbook also says “Clients contact an svnserve server by using
URLs that begin with the svn://”
So, my question is, which method user will use to create their working copy?

Thankyou.

    The svn:// scheme goes to a socket. If you want to checkout directly from the filesystem, use the file:// scheme (you don’t use the server in that case).

    (You could use file://, svn://, svn+ssh://, http:// or https:// to check out a working dir on the same machine, but except for file:// those all require running some kind of server.)
