Hello,
I think you miss some rules from guidlines or you forgot something ?

some progress... I have

some progress...

I have PuTTY and pageant configured for automatic SSH access

I configured T-SVN to use plink (tortoiseplink causes stderr messages)

I was able to import *something* to a repo (created in SSH)

svn import -m /xampplite/htdocs/arifali svn+ssh://uname@domain.com/home/uname/public_html/svn/arifali

but when I list the repo, it looks like the whole domain is in it, but not the files I wanted to import

Using T-SVN repobrowser I can connect to svn+ssh://uname@domain.com/home/uname/public_html/svn/arifali, auth with plink works - but when I try to open the arifali repo, I get the error: Error * Connection closed unexpectedly

I uninstalled T-SVN 1.5.2 and installed 1.4.8 (some bugs were reported with v 1.5.x) but I still get the error

hmmm?

ah - I missed that guide -

ah - I missed that guide - maybe it will work, there are steps I didn't do

but BH locked the server tight after a DDoS attack last week, can't use Navicat either - and they categorically deny any support for Subversion and SVN so it's all DIY

Hopefully I will be happier (and my Drupal sites will run faster) at Hot Drupal...

stay tuned for further details

you forgot the link to the guide

Bah, I botched the link, forgot to put the closing " in there. It's fixed now though.

On the Collabnet Subversion forum, I have been told if I can't edit the httpd.conf I can't just run Subversion by http://

Yes, that conversation appeared on a Google search. It seems that with Bluehost your only option is to use SSH tunnelling.

Anyway, it's all moot as you've got a shiny new hosting account now.

Jeeves - you forgot the link

Jeeves - you forgot the link to the guide, but yes, I have the docs for PuTTY, Subversion, Tortoise...

On the Collabnet Subversion forum, I have been told if I can't edit the httpd.conf I can't just run Subversion by http://

Kind of explains why I've been running into a brick wall

Yes, SSH tunneling is an option

I just opened a hosting acct with Hot Drupal

In my pre-sales inquiry I made sure that Subversion and SVN are supported (they are at HD, at least on some of their servers)

I was impressed that when I opened the hosting acct, they remembered my inquiry and placed my domain (decibelplaces.com, what else?) on a server with Subversion/SVN

Haven't decided yet what to do with my BlueHost acct - it's *ok* for shared hosting, not a disaster like StartLogic - but don't try anything fancy there - here is the latest ticket email from BH when I asked about all my crazy keys, and a problem with their online SSH tools in the CP:

Good day,

Unfortunately you have found some of the many bugs in the Control Panel. The SSH tool in the control panel seldom work and we are working with the developers of Cpanel to get them working. At times they work but to the most part they will do what you have seen.

The best thing would be to us a 3rd party software such as Putty to connect.

I presume you're using this

JeevesBond — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 18:06:00 +0000

I presume you're using this guide?

When you SSH into the host using PuTTY does it -- correctly -- not ask you for the password?

I think the problem is keys - I have about 4 sets, and I don't know what I'm doing!

Seems like this is the problem. There comes a point with this sort of stuff where it's just easier to wipe everything you've done and start again. Everything is easier the second time too.

in the .ssh dir there is a file "authorized_keys" and I copied in the latest keys I generated with puttygen

Isn't this meant to be done the other way around: generate the keys on the server, then copy them to your local machine?

I have PuTTY set as the SSH client for T-SVN - should I use pageant or plink - ?

It says in that guide to use:

[tunnels]
ssh = c:\\Program\ Files\\TortoiseSVN\\bin\\TortoisePlink.exe

Or are we talking about different configuration options here?

Yes, I can SSH using PuTTY -

decibel.places — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 19:42:00 +0000

Yes, I can SSH using PuTTY - and I created Subversion repositories from the command line in PuTTY...

But I am planning to share repos with some colleagues who are not that techy and I don't really want them wandering around in SSH - Tortoise SVN seems like the right tool, but I'll try something else...

I have PuTTY set as the SSH client for T-SVN - should I use pageant or plink - ?

With PuTTY I am getting the message error about not being able to load the key, and the server is closing the connection, so maybe it is the server, not T-SVN (I'm thinking about moving my hosting ... again)

Can you SSH into your

Can you SSH into your hosting account? The authorized_keys file you mention is for SSH, and not subversion.
