Is svnserve available in shared environment?

I am attempting to connect to my SVN repository on a shared server via svnserve, but cannot seem to connect.

I have started svnserve and can verify that it is running via ps.  Here is what I used to start the server
svnserve -d

From my local machine I have tried...
svn checkout svn://domainname.com/home/myusername/repository/myproject

NOTE: I have been able to connect tunneling over SSH, but for simplicity would rather just use plain svnserve.

What error are you getting ?
Also is SVN installed and is in your path ? - you should see
svn -h listing options if it is.

I get the following error...

svn: Can't connect to host 'mydomainname.com': Operation timed out

Yes, svn is installed.  I have connected to other servers using svnserve.  It's not a huge deal since I can access it with svn+ssh

Hi there - only svn+ssh is available unless you have http (multi-user) activated for your account.  svn alone is not available.
