I'm trying to instal FFMPEG to my server but the command

svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg

Returns

svn: Can't connect to host 'svn.mplayerhq.hu': Connection refused

I can normally PING svn.mplayerhq.hu and disabling the firewall didn't work.

What can I do?

Thank you guys

Works OK for me. Have you got an edge firewall blocking it? – Ben Pilbrow Apr 18 '11 at 16:47
I woldn't know, Ben, but I guess not – Souljacker Apr 18 '11 at 16:50

a "Connection refused" simply means that you attempted to connect doing everything correctly, and for whatever reason, the remote host responded with a TCP Reject packet. As to why they might have rejected your connection, I can only guess. There may have been a device somewhere in the middle that might have also rejected the connection (a firewall someplace... or content-filtering service... or several other possibilities)

As it is a fairly public resource, I doubt it has anything to do with their network blocking your connection. Perhaps your ISP doesn't allow connections to SVN (port 3690)... or the place you are connecting from limits connectivity for security reasons...

PORT 3690 is open and there's no firewall. Also, if it was the ISP I wouldn't be able to PING it, or would I? – Souljacker Apr 18 '11 at 23:26
PING uses an ICMP packet... svn uses TCP. Big difference. And yes, you can block one without the other. – TheCompWiz Apr 19 '11 at 13:51
I see. I've to find out what's wrong. My dedicated charges US$75 for each hour of support :( – Souljacker Apr 19 '11 at 14:26
Try using "telnet" to port 3690. (telnet svn.mplayerhq.hu 3690) If you are able to connect and able to see "( success ( 2 2 ( ) ( edit-pipeline svndiff1 absent-entries commit-revprops dept h log-revprops partial-replay ) ) ) " It's not the ISP or any blocking service in the middle, but rather something else wrong with your svn client. Otherwise, it's something between your machine and svn.mplayerhq.hu. Most likely, is YOUR firewall or YOUR ISP. Without being on-site I honestly couldn't begin to tell you everything you need to check in order to rule out one or the other. – TheCompWiz Apr 27 '11 at 20:46
