Question

I just began looking into source control…. And installed subversion from collabnet…
I also use netbeans(6.8) to work with PHP…

I have done the following steps

1. I have installed subversion is c:\program files\collabnet\ and the root for the repositories in e:\svn_repository

2. I then created a repository as e:\svn_repository\lemon

3. I then edited the passwd file and added the user and password

4. I then tried importing an existing project into the repository with the address – svn://localhost/lemon with the new user and password.

   After all this, i get the error "authentication failed"… I am pretty sure the authentication is correct…

I tried importing the project with the address file:///E:/sv_repository/lemon with no authentication and it connected…

But i got other guys who got to connect to this server through lan and svn:// protocol is the only option….

What am i doing wrong here..?
Also.. where can i find a proper tutorial to connect netbeans and collabnet subversion…..?

Thanks for your suggestions and time…

Answer 1

Found out the mistake… i had enabled both anon-access and auth-access at the same time in the svnserve.conf file….

Commenting one of them did the trick….

A stupid mistake… but a pitfall to watch for n00bs like me…!!

Cheers..!
