Hi there,
I'm running Subversion (compiled from sources) on a Mac Mini, using
Mac S X client 10.4.3. However, I don't believe this problem is
specific to the mac platform. (but I could be wrong)
the server I run svnserve /To/Repos; Using my
appropriate paths svnserve is run as user=svn a restricted user.
1) If I try to access the repository N the server using local host -
it works
2) If I try to access the repository from a machine on my network,
using my domain name, like so ,
Then I get an error that says "svn: Can't connect to host
'www.schankopolis.com': Address already in use", but only after I hit
ctrl-c to break out of the call. it will just time out.
3) However!, if I use the bonjour name for the remote computer (we
happen to be on the same subnet) as so: svn://cooper.local/Project it
will work fine.
Does anyone know why I get this error and how I can fix it? I assume
that with the situation as it is, no users off my subnet will be able
to access the repository using my domain name.
Note: Both Apache(1.3) at http://www.schankopolis.com, and Tomcat at
work fine, so it isn't something
flaky about my domain name.
Thanks for any suggestions,
John Schank

Can you confirm with nslookup or dig that www.schankopolis.com and
cooper.local do in fact resolve to the same IP address?

Does it work if you try accessing the repository with the IP address,
like svn ls svn://1.2.3.4/Project ?

Actually www.schankopolis.com and cooper.local do not resolve to
the same IP address

The schankopolis IP is the WAN IP of my router. While cooper.local
is a DHCP assigned IP on my LAN. (Assigned from the router. Always
the same IP, and the LAN IP is the DMZ IP for the router. So all
ports get automatically forwarded to this PC on my LAN. Also, using
the IP address instead of the name makes no difference.

This sounds like it is the heart of the problem. However, Apache
has no problems working this way. Nor does FTP, SSH or any other
listener I have (that I know of), Is there some way I can make
svnserve work in this network configuration?

I don't know Sending it back to the list; maybe someone else knows.

Hi there,

Forwarding this back to the list because the thread ran into a dead end.

The schankopolis IP is the WAN IP of my router. While cooper.local is
a DHCP assigned IP on my LAN. (Assigned from the router. Always the
same IP, and the LAN IP is the DMZ IP for the router. So all ports
get automatically forwarded to this PC on my LAN. Also, using the IP
address instead of the name makes no difference.

I have (that I know of), Is there some way I can make svnserve work
in this network configuration?

Thanks
