Error Using SVN

[wysard]

I'm getting the following error using SVN and don't know whether it's a problem at your end or mine. I've never used SVN so I am new to this.

Here's the command and resulting error:

[wysardn@hera cerberus]$ svn --username readonly checkout "http://xev.webgroupmedia.com:2222/cerb4/cerb4/"
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/cerb4/cerb4'
svn: PROPFIND of '/cerb4/cerb4': could not connect to server (http://xev.webgroupmedia.com:2222)

Hey there!

Try pinging 'xev.webgroupmedia.com' from your server.

Then try doing a 'telnet xev.webgroupmedia.com 2222' (lynx or wget also work).

SVN just uses Apache (HTTP) on a non-standard port. You may be getting blocked by an outgoing firewall on your end.

If telnet connects, try typing "GET /", you should see some HTML output talking about authorizing. That would be a good result.

If you get a timeout with the telnet command it's almost assuredly a firewall.
