I set up an SVN server with Centos 6 inside virtualbox, what I want to do is connect to this virtual OS (when it is running of course) for my computers connected to my network. I tried entering the ip address with /svn/repo_name just it does not want to connect. What do I need to do?
you have to be more specific about your issue and your set-up. for example, what kind of network is your VBox machine using? Is it NAT'ed, bridged etc? are you able to ping the VBox machine by IP address? Is your SVN server up and listening on some port? Do you have any firewall blocking your traffic? Are you able to telnet to your SVN server port? saying just 'it does not want to connect' is not helpful for anybody at all
I am using NAT I pinged it and nothing. I am new to SVN and not sure how I can get it to listen to certain ports have it as /var/www/svn eth0
I encourage you to check the networking modes part from the VBox manual. Your VM is NAT'ed and you can't access it from your physical network tl;dr NAT gives the ability to the VM to access the Internet via a private IP which is unroutable from the host or your LAN etc. what you want to use is Bridget mode so that your VM will act as any other machine on the LAN and can be accessible via IP etc. as for the SVN server, have you actually started it up? you basically have to do something like: mkdir /path/to/repos svnadmin create /path/to/repos/test_repo Code (markup): and then adjust your repository ACLs in the svnserve.conf and start the server via: svnserve -d -r /path/to/repos Code (markup): note that it is strongly recommended to run the server using some non-privileged user or you're using SVN with WebDAV?
I have been reading: http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-svn-subversion-server-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/ attempting again with bridge
okay I did a bridge connection, VBox IP is 192.168.1.109 svn/harrow_world (test repo I made) so I went to my normal desktops browser and typed in: 192.168.1.109/svn/harrow_world
