Error getting SVN repo of Liferay in Eclipse

Question

Im using Eclipse Galileo and have installed Subclipse. I looked at the svn repo url at http://www.liferay.com/web/brian.chan/blog/-/blogs/changes-to-anonymous-access-to-liferay-s-svn and then tried to get Liferay from their SVN repository in Eclipse, using svn://svn.liferay.com/repos/public --username guest,but i get the following error message:

Error validating location: "org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException:No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
svn: Cant connect to host 'svn.liferay.com':No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

Any way to fix this ?

Thank You

Answer 1

It works now ! :).Just had to change svn://svn.liferay.com/repos/public to http://svn.liferay.com/repos/public.

Try removing '--username guest' from the URL string. I could connect successfully to it using Eclipse and SubClipse plugin. Add the 'guest' user with empty password in the credential form in the next step. It would also be appropriate to check that your DNS server and internet connectivity are working correctly.
