move svn repository from Linux to Windows

I have done alot of research on this and thought it would be a easy task, but guess I was wrong. I will outline everything I did to move the svn repository, but am not able to relocate, or checkout the directories.

Linux config =

svn in /home/services/svn/asr
checkout would be svn://"server name"/asr
performed svnadmin dump /home/services/svn/asr > asr.dump

Everything here worked fine, and I moved the 25GB dump to the Windows server

Windows config =

created a new repository (svnadmin create c:\svn\asr)
performed svnadmin l开发者_如何学运维oad c:\svn\asr < asr.dump
everything loaded fine to revision 538 (which is head revision)
created a service to run svnserve.exe with --root c:\svn\asr
added my passwd, authz, and setup everything

When attempting to relocate I get a error about not being the root of the repository. I am using svn://"server name"/asr

If I create a new folder and perform a checkout from svn"//"server name"/asr I get a error stating:

I suspect that the problem could be with the configuration of the service rather than the integrity of the repository.

The first thing to try is whether you can do svnlook operations from a command prompt on the server, eg svnlook log c:\svn\asr . If that's fine then it suggests the repository is ok. The setup of svnserve with the root of c:\svn\asr looks ok at first glance, but you could try running the service in the foreground, which may give you more information:

runas /user:whatever_your_svn_service_user_is_called cmd
(opens a new command window running as the SVN service user)
svnserve -X --foreground --root c:\svn\asr

and now try doing a checkout again.

Your problem is not the dump, but the configuration of your server: You have to start server via

svnserve.exe -d  --root c:\svn\  

(without the reponame) Then you can checkout or relocate via URL

svn://<Servername>/asr 

Otherwise you have stated the asr twice (first in svnserve, second in URL) and this is not an existing repository(would be c:\svn\asr\asr ..).

BTW: If you used FSFS Repositories(standard setting since SVN 1.3, I think) You just can file copy the repository without dump/reload. Dump/reload cycles are really slow and dumps are very bloated
