Marc,
Thank-you for the advice. However, when I tried it I got the same
error message. I also tried svn://localhost/RecordsRepository and it
gave the same error message, too.
The svnServe which I posted is essentially the same as yours if I
understand the documentation correctly. And with the one I had I was
able to create the repository via the svnAdmin, so that suggests to
me that I have the snvServe setup correctly. In any case, both appear
to be behaving in the same way.
I think the problem is the c:/ to which I have svnServe pointing OR
that I have to reference my repositories in subFolders (ex:
c:/RecordsRepository).
Do you have any other suggestions?
Many thanks for your time and trouble!
