SVN over Samba / Dokan (sshfs)

Question

I have both SVN and Samba running on the same Debian server.

I have a shared folder, dev, in which I have a SVN checkout, example, of a project.

When I ssh to the server, I am able to do a svn up example from within the dev folder, no problem, however, when I connect to the Samba share and do a svn log (with TortoiseSVN in Windows) I get a 'connection refused' error and a note about removing -q from 'ssh' in '[tunnels]', however, I do not have a -q under '[tunnels]'.

This is my smb.conf file:

path = /var/chroot/www-data/
browseable = yes
read only = no
writable = yes
guest ok = no
create mask = 0644
directory mask = 0755
force user = www-data
force group = www-data
mangled names = no
delete readonly = yes

I get the same errors when using Dokan instead of Samba.

Answer 1

The problem was not so much Samba as it was SVN.

When I had done the checkout, I had used svn+ssh://localhost/example.com, so when I wanted to do a svn log or other commands from the Windows machine, Tortoise SVN tried to do a log on localhost/example.com, which of course was wrong. Switching to IP address instead of localhost solved the problem.
