I have created svn repo setup in linux machine and ran svnserve -d . But while trying to access from tortoise svn (from windows) using the command svn://app-dev.example.com/svn/svnrepo it says can't connect to host.

ping app-dev.example.com is working fine.

Did I miss any step?

EDIT : Now I am trying with Apache server to access via HTTP . I can access with the command "sudo svn co --username user1 http://app-dev.example.com/svn/svnrepo" in ubuntu itself (where I have created the repo) . But not from windows. I get error as "Unable to connect to a repository at URL.Connection timed out"

  • Firewall? ----- – Álvaro González Feb 08 '17 at 09:46
  • ping is working fine and giving results – Sowmya Feb 08 '17 at 09:57
  • The `svn:` protocol uses TCP [port 3690](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7249097/what-ports-need-to-be-open-for-svn-tortoise-to-authenticate-clear-text-and-com). The `ping` command uses [ICMP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Control_Message_Protocol), which doesn't have the concept of ports. You can't use the latter to diagnose the former. – Álvaro González Feb 08 '17 at 10:01
  • how can I check that ? telenet host 3690 gives me the result as "Connecting To host...Could not open connection to the host, on port 3690: Connect failed" – Sowmya Feb 08 '17 at 10:06
  • Try to find an item called "firewall" in your Linux box menus. (I assume it works fine from local.) – Álvaro González Feb 08 '17 at 10:10
  • yeah . It works fine from local (in linux). – Sowmya Feb 08 '17 at 10:15
  • @Alvaro Gonzalez , I am trying with http option , still not possible to access from windows – Sowmya Feb 10 '17 at 07:09
  • Sorry if I didn't explain myself properly. Computers have (or should have) a piece of security software called [firewall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewall_(computing)) that's designed to control network access. Whenever you want to accept incoming connections you need explicitly allow them in your firewall. – Álvaro González Feb 10 '17 at 08:04
