Because we will run Subversion as a service, C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin must be part of the PATH environment variable. The installation should have done this but double-check this.
Create a repository: svnadmin create “C:\IT\Subversion Repository”
Make sure file permissions on this folder are locked down. Edit the conf/svnserver.conf file: [general] anon-access = read auth-access = write password-db = passwd [users] ${username1} = ${password1} ${username2} = ${password2} ${username3} = ${password3}
Run SVNService Administration and fill in location of Subversion bin folder and the repository you created above. Notice the port (3690). Listen Host: should be set to the FQDN of the server so that it can be accessed remotely. Start the service. Change firewall settings to allow connections to this port as desired.
