Error 1053 with subversion and windows XP service
-
Good day, I am trying to set up a subversion and windows service, but I keep on getting an 1053 error (along the line of "cannot start the service in a timely fashion"). I have tried the approaches on the net, but I get the same error, regardless of all my efforts. Below are the approaches that I took: I have tried: sc create snservice binpath= "C:\Program Files\subversion\bin\svnserve.exe --service --root C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\Repository" displayname= "Subversion" depends= tcpip start= auto And: sc create snservice binpath= "\"C:\Program Files\subversion\bin\svnserve.exe" --service --root C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\Repository" displayname= "Subversion" depends= tcpip start= auto And: sc create snservice binpath= "C:\Program Files\subversion\bin\svnserve.exe --service --r C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\Repository" displayname= "Subversion" depends= tcpip start= auto And: sc create snservice binpath= "C:\Program Files\subversion\bin\svnserve.exe --service C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\Repository" displayname= "Subversion" depends= tcpip start= auto And: sc create snservice binpath= "C:\Program Files\subversion\bin\svnserve.exe --daemon--root C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\Repository" displayname= "Subversion" depends= tcpip start= auto And: sc create snservice binpath= "C:\Program Files\subversion\bin\svnserve.exe --daemon --r C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\Repository" displayname= "Subversion" depends= tcpip start= auto And: sc create snservice binpath= "C:\Program Files\subversion\bin\svnserve.exe --daemon C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\Repository" displayname= "Subversion" depends= tcpip start= auto Since the repository and the svnserve.exe are on the same drive, the --root or -r option is not necessary. - I am using tortoiseSVN and tigres subversion. - C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\Repository is where my repository is located. - I have been told to use the command prompt environment, and not the GUI environment, but if you could help me to set up the subversion using the GUI, I would appreciate it. Otherwise, if you could help me to set up the subversion using the command prompt environment, I would highly appreciate it, as I struggle to find a solution to the 1053 error. I am using windows XP SP2, and I am not supporting the idea of installing SP3, as I have already done so, leading me to repair my laptop, as it completely buggered up my laptop. Kind regards, Rossouw :)
