Connection to Subversion Source Control system error

aburke

Hi,

I’m getting a 'cannot connect to server' error when linking the SQL database to my Source control system which is a Subversion Source control system hosted on cloud-based tool Assembla.
I realised that it was probably due to our use of a proxy server for internet access.
To resolve this issue I downloaded a Client tool called TortoiseSVN. In the Network settings in this tool I was able to enable the proxy server. Afterwards I was able to link successfully my SQL database to my Source control system in SQL Source Control.
Is there a way to enable the proxy server for SQL Source control without using this 3rd party tool?

Thanks,
Aidan

Hi Aidan,

You can't configure this within SQL Source Control but there is a way to manually set the proxy server settings for Subversion clients. You need to open your %AppData%Subversionservers file in a text editor and look for the section headed with [global]. You then need to uncomment the lines that refer to the proxy and edit the configuration values. It should look something like the following -

[global]
http-proxy-exceptions = *.exception.com, www.internal-site.org
http-proxy-host = myproxy.mycompany.com
http-proxy-port = 7000
http-proxy-username = myUsername
http-proxy-password = myPassword

Yep. That worked. Thanks.
