SVN URL for a repository on a non-root drive

What does the SVN URL look like when the stack’s repository is stored in a custom folder on a harddrive other than the root one (C:)?

In my example, I made my repository be D:\QRS_Depot.

To clarify, this is on a Windows system. Trac works fine and I’m able to access it by using the computer’s domain name in an internet browser on my network.

The Trac Stack creates an example repository in the location that you set, so it is not necessary to be in “C:”. If you want to use an existing repository you should configure trac to access to it.

Right, I had the installer create a new repository at D:\QRS_Depot. However, I don’t understand what SVN URL I’m supposed to use to access that repository remotely.

For example, using “svn://localhost/d:/QRS_Depot” while on the machine doesn’t work.

It gives a “Can’t open file ‘\d:\QRS_Depot\format’: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.” error.

I think it is not necessary to set the device because the Subversion server was configured to use it. Could you try this one? “svn://localhos/QRS_Depot”

I assume you mean “svn://localhost/QRS_Depot”? Unfortunately that didn’t work.

It looks like “file:///d:/QRS_Depot” works on the local system, so the repository is there. However, this isn’t going to cut it because I want remote access. :)

Thank you for your help so far!

Ah! Progress!

To make bitnami accept a repository stored on the d:\ drive I had to add “—root=d:\” to the svnserve.exe line in \subversion\scripts\serviceinstall.bat.
