Hello,

I installed the subversion successfully but i can't access it through ssh. it gives me this error:

svn: Connection closed unexpectedly

when i make a ssh login and try this command:

svn list svn+ssh://myusername@mydomain/home/myusername/svn

it gives me this error.

bash: svnserve: command not found
svn: Connection closed unexpectedly

And i added the PATH=$PATH:$HOME/usr/bin line to the .bashrc and .bash_profile but still it doesn't work..

any help is appreciated.

thanks.

I have searched the web high and low and tried different solutions with no other result than "Connection closed unexpectedly" when I use TortoiseSVN and svn command line.

Just for grins I tried a commercial program called SmartSVN. Yeah, that works just fine.

The question, of course, is why? I don't know. SmartSVN asks for a lot more information than TortoiseSVN. I can list, add, import, do everything from my local PC. I just don't want to have to pay $79 for another SVN client.

Dave

Update: I tried another SVN client (Syncro SVN - $59) and it works great.

Heavy sigh. I really wish I could get TortoiseSVN to work.

From the For-What-It's-Worth Department:

I just fired up jEdit and installed the SVN plugin. Works like a champ accessing my Bluehost repository.

Grrrrrrrrrr. Still no TortoiseSVN.

Hey guys, check out this site here:

This helped me with getting Subversion set up and allowing it to work well with PuTTY and a few others. Really hope this helps!

Ya know, I've been through that procedure before. I'm not sure what step I screwed up, but I started it over from scratch and it works just hunkey dorey.

Thank you, bryantms, for re-posting that. It's so nice to have TortoiseSVN working remotely!
