SVN Setup Question

I've used SVN at work but I have never set up an SVN account myself. In the SVN tutorial I was wondering if I should execute those commands on the server or should I be doing those on my end?

They should be done on the server. If you have SVN installed on your local box then you can do it there, too. 'depends on what you want to do.

I want to be able to have a place where I and a few other people working with me on a project can submit code to and then check out the version of code that was last committed.
I started to follow the tutorial from the wiki but when I got to the line where I am checking out a working copy into a temp directory on the server by doing:
svn co file:///home/<username>/svn/<projectname>/trunk <projectname>
I received this error::
svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
svn: Unable to open repository 'file:///home/<myname>/<myproject_name>/trunk'
Could I just skip that above step and get things checked out to my local machine using Subclipse by doing:
svn+ssh://<username>@<yourdomain.com>/home/<username>/svn/<projectname>?

Hi there - you'll want to get your svn on http (i.e. multi-user svn) for your team to use...that is, once it works for single-user :) For this current "Unable to open" problem we're looking into it now.

yeah that's the goal is to have multi-user svn working. Eventually I would like to learn how to use Capistrano also. But first things first just getting SVN to work. Btw... I love these forums! The response time is freaking amazing!!

Hello. I just went through the tutorial you mentioned above and I did actually receive the same error you did the first time through. My trouble stemmed from a simple typo... I didn't add a ~ to one of the commands listed. After I got the error, I rm -rf'd everything and started clean again and it went without a hitch. I suggest starting clean as I did and giving it aother try. if you still have issues with it let us know and we'll get you fixed up. :)
