Hi Rafael.
Using wincvs (a CVS client) with svn on the server likely will not produce a lot of good.
The error message does reflect on the fact, that cvs is not responding to your attemts to connect to it. cvs is installed, but not set as a service, that is not the problem, the problem is you need a subversion gui to go with the subversion server to do your stuff.
Having both installed on the server will not conflict, since they use different port i think. You need to take kare not to specify the same repository on the filesystem of the server for both of them, the file structure and formats could couse some problems.
I think your problem is using a cvs client to connect to svn. Try looking at http://www.qint.de/svnup.html they seem to have a gui for svn ...

First, let me thank you for the good info I got from you guys.
I decided to go with 'subversion'. I also decided to use it's own server instead of appache. It's working locally but not remotely yet. I'm still trying to find out why. This is how I know it's working locally on the cvs server/repository. After creating the project1 repository.
# svn co svn://nameofthisserver/repositories/projects/project1 somedirectoryname Checked out revision 0.
For remote access, from windows, I'm trying WinCVS. I've followed their recommended settings for the clients. I'm getting this error. " cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to "remoteserver":2401 failed: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it."
Ok, here's a bit of background about the server system and some of the troubleshooting I've done. I've read and read, but there's something that I'm not understanding perhaps.
. subversion's svn server expects request on port 3690. this is from netstat. tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3690 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN . subversion's svn server has been started as a daemon instead of through inetd. from ps root 14184 0.0 0.2 3528 1064 ? S Feb17 0:00 svnserve -d . /etc/services says that. cvspserver 2401/tcp # CVS client/server operations cvspserver 2401/udp # CVS client/server operations . If I need to use inetd, I'd like to use xinet instead. this is from /etc/xinet.d/ amanda chargen-udp dbskkd-cdb finger ipop2 krb5-telnet pop3s rsync swat time amandaidx comsat echo gssftp ipop3 kshell rexec servers talk time-udp amidxtape daytime echo-udp imap klogin ktalk rlogin services telnet vsftpd chargen daytime-udp eklogin imaps kotalk ntalk rsh sgi_fam tftp wu-ftpd I don't see anything i can use and control via /etc/rc.d/inet.d/xinetd [start stop, etc] . Right now, I'm not using any kind of encryption. . I'm authenticating via /etc/password (NIS). . I can telnet, or ssh to it. NO problem.
I guess I need to really understand what wincvs for windows is sending or expecting. I have even tried to force it to knock on port 3690. It doesn't seem to make any difference.
I haven't tried any other methods or client utils yet. I figure that they all send, expect the same thing and if one is not working probable it has to do with the server.
The other thing, it appears that I have some sort of client/server installation already on the server: cvs-1.11.1p1-7, rcs-5.7-15. Would this be causing some conflicts. I didn't think they would affect anything; that's why I haven't uninstalled.
I'm sure it has to do with some little silly setting somewhere.
Thanks for your attention to this posting.
Rafael.
