When I try to configure logging for svnserve, using the command:
$ svnserve -d -r /svn --log-file /var/log/svn.log
I receive the error svnserve: Can't bind server socket: Address already in use. After some research I ran $ps -ef | grep svnserve and killed the other process, which ended up just stopping svnserve. With svnserve stopped, executing the logging command does not give me an error. However I cannot restart svnserve after this, until killing the new process that is created by the logging setup command.
I am having trouble determining how to keep them running at the same time so that logging will work.
If you issue svnserve -d -r /svn --log-file /var/log/svn.log, this will start the svnserve daemon with logging, you don't need to run any other svnserve command.
