Question

My wish is pretty simple, yet so complex, aparrently.

As a programming-student, I was introduced to SVN, TortoiseSVN to be exact.
We were given a url to the repository, which looked something like:
http://www.schoolderp.com/svn/project1

That is great and all, but now we want to get some private projects going.
So with TortoiseSVN we created a repository, uploaded it to a webhost and tried to view it through the repo-browser.. Ofcourse it couldnt be that simple.. bah!

So for the last couple of days, i’ve searched the web for answers, but im stuck.

I’ve read alot of places that Apache is needed, but when I read about Apache, it seems that it is a service i need to run on my machine, or am I just stupid?

So atm i pretty much going insane, and would LOVE a really simple explanation on what to do, to get a svn server up and running on my webhost :/

Thanks alot in advance..

You need a server (virtual or real) to run svn. A simple webhost does not provide the features needed for an svn server.
As an alternative there are several svn servers where you can have your own private repositories.
