How to give the repository URL in Tortoise SVN?

I am new to Tortoise SVN. I have开发者_JAVA技巧 created a repository in my machine. To access this folder in a remote host, what's the repository url which should be given in SVN checkout? Should the server be running, when I try to access the repository ?

Yes, the server must be running in order for you to access Subversion.

The URL depends on how you've configured Subversion.

My local Subversion instance URL looks like this:

svn://localhost:3690

Another that I use to access Sourceforge looks like this:

https://mandelbrotset.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mandelbrotset

It could be http instead of https, depending on how you've set things up.

In general, the URL takes this form:

http://host:3690/repository

Have a look at the Red Bean book if you get stuck.
