@ MarkA

Please try to do the following:

Search for svn.exe, and then see what is the path to that file. Then go to that folder and set permissions so that activeCollab could access that file.

Once you have done that, and applied permissions changes to cmd.exe,please type the path to the svn.exe in activeCollab (without the svn.exe and with forward slashes - according to the manual you have used to install SVN that path should be C:/Program Files/Subversion/bin/)

If you are still getting an error message please contact us at support@a51dev.com so we could continue debugging.

This is driving crazy! -- Fact: have no knowledge about SCV :(
I have setup Subversion using this link: http://www.codelabs.pl/index.php/articles/39-tools/48-svn-installation-on-windows

I then copied bin folder to C:/svc/bin and tried and got the Error accessing SVN executable! I have also adjust cmd permission as suggested by Ilija and still getting the same error.

The scv works fine locally, I have tested it by installing TortoiseSVN and connecting locally to "file:///C:/svc/MyProject" tried connecting using svn://localhost:3690/MyProject but got an error "No repository found in 'svn://127.0.0.1:3690/MyProject'"

Please help!!

Hi, thanks for the fast response! It works now, I also had to use forward slashes in the path: C:/Subversion/bin

Are you running activeCollab under IIS or under Apache?

In case of IIS, user under which it runs does not have permissions to use command line by default, so you need to give execute permissions to Internet Guest Account (IUSR_) for C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe file.

Hello,

same problem here, on Windows Server 2003, whatever I enter into the SVN Location field, I get the same error:

Error accessing SVN executable:

Notice that the error includes a semicolon, but nothing following it.

Hi there, I have the same problem, has anyone resolved it?

I have moved my SVN install (VisualSVN server) to d:\visualsvnserver\ but I still get this error

Cheers

Hi Charles,

I have a similar problem, can you please tell me how did you resolve it or in other words, what did you entered in SVN Location field? Whatever I enter in it, I get the same error: "Error accessing SVN executable".

Thanks!

It looks like aC didn't like the spaces in the default install location for subversion ([drive]:\Program Files\Subversion\bin). Once I copied the bin directory to [drive]:\svn\bin everything started working.

Thanks!

Hi all,

We recently purchased a License for aC and are working on getting everything setup. One issue we've run into is getting the Source module to run on our windows servers. We keep getting a

"Error accessing SVN executable:"

...when we try to point the module at the svn executable. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!
