subversion and tortoise repositroies problem

I installed the subversion svn 1.2.3 and tortoise svn 1.6.14 on the server with svnservi开发者_开发问答ce according to following link http://www.codeproject.com/KB/architecture/Subversion_on_Windows.aspx

and after this I installed these on client m/c as same .

now when I click on tsvn checkout on client m/c then it gives an error like:

Error: Expected format '3' of repository; found format '5'

Quick search returned this: Subversion: Expected format '3' of repository; found format '5' at a guess you have also used this 1click setup?

Edit: I'd also recommend getting the CollabNet command-line client :)

I have had this problem when the client and server are of different major version numbers as you indicate in your question. Have a look at the help provided by the tortoise client. It provides an excellent description of how to setup a server on windows. It is accessed by right-clicking in windows explorer, then select TortoiseSVN->Help. This opens a CHM file that has alot of good information here.
