new svn server, same ip


Here is my problem:

My server crashed last night! So i had to go out and buy some new stuff and i now have a new server. I have everything set back up and i am trying to set my svn server back up. I have it set back up. I have my files on another pc that i want to commit to the svn server to start my repository back up. How do i get those files into the repository again? The server has the same ip as it was before. I have tried a relocate and a switch, but i keep getting this error:

The repository at 'svn://<ip>/random' has uuid '<the uid>, but the WC has '<the uid>'.

The stuff in <> is left out, because it is not important information. The uid's are different. Can you please assist me asap! I need this up and running VERY VERY soon.

Thank you!


Solution

  • If you don't have a backup of your repository (from the server) you will loose history. You can create a new repository and import all your files from a working copy. (svn export from the old working copy to the new one and then adding and checking everything is i a way to go).

    But then you have a new repository and can not do a relocate on the client. Instead you need to do a clean checkout in a new folder.
