I've got to ask, is it a Subversion repository? Did you create it first? We need a little more information in order to help you.

I wonder if it would work with backslashes.

[Emmanuel Blot]

This looks like an installation issue → ask for support in the MailingList and close the ticket as invalid or worksforme.

[Matthew Good]

Check that "c:/svn/hirepro" is actually a repository created by ​svnadmin create. If you need more support for this error please check on the MailingList as eblot mentioned.

I have the same problem with a repository created with subversion 1.4.2

100% shure that it is a subversion repository I'm pointing to.

I have the same problem with a repository created with subversion 1.4.2 100% shure that it is a subversion repository I'm pointing to.

Well, please provide some detailled pieces of information so that we can figure out what is going wrong - such as:

1. the relevant part of your trac.ini file,
2. the message you get when you run

   svn info file:///repospath
   

   where /repospath is the exact same path than the repository you have defined in trac.ini,
3. which environment (server, modules, effective user id of the server) you are using,
4. the list (directory content) that shows the repository path along with the file permissions

This was most likely an installation issue.
