title: how to host svn server on my computer?
body: <p>I have VisualSVN Server and I want to create an internet facing repository on my computer but I can't seem to get it right. I created the repository, disabled https, and I'm trying to access the server through:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>svn://xxx.xx.xxx.xxx:8080/svn/repo/trunk
    or
    <a href="http://xxx.xx.xxx.xxx:8080/svn/repo/trunk" rel="nofollow">http://xxx.xx.xxx.xxx:8080/svn/repo/trunk</a></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>but each case gives me an error.</p>
  
  <p>In the case of svn protocol:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Can't connect to host
    'xxx.xx.xxx.xxx': No connection could
    be made because the  target machine
    actively refused it.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>And in the http case:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>OPTIONS of
    '<a href="http://xxx.xx.xxx.xxx:8080/svn/repo" rel="nofollow">http://xxx.xx.xxx.xxx:8080/svn/repo</a>':
    could not connect to server
    (<a href="http://xxx.xx.xxx.xxx:8080" rel="nofollow">http://xxx.xx.xxx.xxx:8080</a>)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>What am I missing?<br>
  Do I need to configure an Apache server or something like that in order to be able to make the server public?</p>
  
  <p>Update: I'm running on Windows 7, windows firewall is disabled, no other firewall is installed</p>
