Cannot connect to subversion server

[PatClay]

I have a subversion server, but since I upgraded I cannot connect to it.

When I try to connect to it with kdesvn or type svn:192.168.1.108 into konqueror, it returns "generic error". Yes that is the error message, not just me being too lazy to read what it says, honest.

Both methods work fine on another machine running an older version. I can also connect to the server using samba on the new machine (it is the do everything box), so it is not an issue with not being able to connect to the server.

Does anyone have any ideas on what may be causing this or where I can dig to get some more information on what is causing this "generic error".

Thanks,
Pat

Are you able to connect using svn from the command line? If not, any error messages from there might help.

The following command:
svn checkout svn://192.168.1.108 --username=myuser
gives "svn: generic error"

I am beginning to dislike the person who came up with the "generic error" error message!

Thanks

I have found how to fix it:
It turns out that there was an error in my /etc/conf file (I had copied it from a different machine)
running 'hostname -f'
gave the following error: hostname: Name or service not known

correcting the /etc/conf file fixed everything, even though there is nothing in /etc/conf which relates to the server in question?!

It seems that there are a lot of other reasons which cause the "generic error"
