SVN is ready!!!

Today we managed to setup an SVN server on our project computer(10.8.102.40) and now it is ready to use for our projects team. We hope to use it for managing the sources we are developing as well as to manage our other relavent documents related to our project.
We installed Visual SVN server as our svn server and it was very easy to setup and use. It is a free software and you can find it in www.visualsvn.com. But before trying it we tried to use subversion SVN server but it was little bit complex to getting started and use ( all the thing has to be done using command prompt ), so we decided to use Visual SVN server instead of subversion. As the svn client, we chose and installed tortise svn client and it is also very easy to setup and use ( it provides a nice and easy way to work with SVN repository). Still we can use the command prompt if we need to run a svn command which is not supported by tortoiseSVN client.

We can easily manage the authorizations for different projects in the svn repository by creating users, user groups and assigned the authorization permissions per directory and it is easy to do this using Visual SVN software.

We had a problem in the begining for accessing the svn repository using TortiseSVN. It didn't ask for authenticating the user when try to checkout from the server repository and then it showed an error saying "Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to OPTIONS". But finally we could overcome that problem. The cause for that problem was we also had another svn software (subversion) installed in the computer. After uninstalling that svn software, tortoiseSVN works without any problem.
