Title: SVN Username and Password
Post by: tsharky87 on October 29, 2008, 07:01:13 am
I'm really sorry if this is a totally stupid question, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I'm trying to just at least take a look at the code to see what I might be up against (in case I want to fix any bugs), so I installed TortoiseSVN and tried to import the repository, but it requires a username and password. I looked at the Compiling Guide and it has a list of usernames and passwords, but none of them work! I'm not new to programming but I am new to SVN and group programming. What should I do? Thanks!

Have you tried anonymous and leaving your password blank?  Also the username/password table is for psserver (once you have it compiled and running), not SVN.

EDIT:  OK I'm told both fields should be blank, try that instead.

Yes, I've tried anonymous and blank password, no luck.

No, both fields blank was the first thing I tried, and it doesn't work.

It sounds like you are trying to use the wrong command, it should be called "checkout". From the TortiseSVN manual, there is a section on "import" that deals with starting your own repository by importing local files, which would need a username/password to commit it. See here on how to checkout (http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-checkout.html).

I just used SVN Checkout... to download the PlaneShift source code into a new directory and it works fine.

Ok thanks, it works. I knew it was something really stupid like that. Feel free to delete this topic now...  :-[
