Marc, I will try this out this evening (I'm on my way out right now). At least I am not losing my mind! Thank-you for testing this and confirming the situation. Is this a SVN problem or a SmartSVN problem and should I report it as a bug? Or, could it be a Windows restriction on c:/ ? Since I have 2 repositories, would the project be setup as svn://localhost/someFolder/RecordsRepository (and similiarly for ProjectsRepository)? Many thanks for your help! -- Geoff Wass --- In smartsvn%40yahoogroups.com">smartsvnyahoogroups.com, Marc Strapetz <marc.strapetz...> wrote: > > Hi Geoff, > > > 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). > > Interestingly I also have problems with repositories directly at c: > > svnserve -r c:/ -d > > does not work for me.

Marc, I moved my repositories to a subfolder of c:/ and SmartSVN is able to create a Repository Profile for them. Thank-you very much! As I said below, is this a SVN problem or a SmartSVN problem and should I report it as a bug? Or, could it be a Windows restriction on c:/ ? Thank-you again for your help. As I find time to get into this and experiment, I may be back again. -- Geoff Wass --- In smartsvn%40yahoogroups.com">smartsvnyahoogroups.com, "geoff.wass"; <geoff.wass...> wrote: > > Marc, > > I will try this out this evening (I'm on my way out right now).

Hello Geoff, > confirming the situation. Is this a SVN problem or a SmartSVN problem > and should I report it as a bug? Or, could it be a Windows > restriction on c:/ ? Message comes from the server and is the same when using command line client, so it's no SmartSVN problem. You may consider posting this to users%40subversion.tigris.org">userssubversion.tigris.org. > Since I have 2 repositories, would the project be setup as > svn://localhost/someFolder/RecordsRepository (and similiarly for > ProjectsRepository)? Probably you will put your repositories repos1 and repos2 to some folder c:/svnroot and use svnserve -r c:/svnroot. Then your projects can be accessed via svn://localhost/repos1 resp. svn://localhost/repos2. -- Best regards, Marc Strapetz _____________ syntevo.com geoff.wass wrote: > Marc, > > I will try this out this evening (I'm on my way out right now).
