Hi David, I don't think we should generally limit the number of svnserve processes on a single computer to 1. What if I want to run multiple instances of svnserve on the same server, each listening on a different port? The behaviour you describe seems to be specific to Windows. I cannot reproduce it on UNIX. When svnserve tries to bind to a port that is already used by another instance of svnserve (or any service for that matter), it exist with an error. $ svnserve -d -r /tmp/repos subversion/svnserve/main.c:739: (apr_err=48) svnserve: Can't bind server socket: Address already in use Do you not see this on Windows, too? Thanks, Stefan
