I want to create a new Subversion repository through Aptana Studio. Both Aptana SVN plugin and Aptana Subversive plugins are installed. I am not following what URL to give as I want to create the repository on localhost.

Please see this link: http://screencast.com/t/qVn3OvWqL

You must create the repository before you can checkout from it. This is a mdifference to DVCSes. So to create. Usually Plugins are not able to create repositories(as you need local access to server).

If you have TortoiseSVN just browse to the directory where your repository should be, in your case:

d:\subversionrepository\prazact_website

If you use TortoiseSVN:

right click on folder "prazact_website"  -> "TortoiseSVN" -> "create Repository here"

If you use Commandline:

svnadmin create d:\subversionrepository\prazact_website

If you created the repository, you can now connect with the above mentioned URL:

file:///d:/subversionrepository/prazact_website

Normally this is where you provide the url via which other clients (including yours) can access this repository. SVN repositories can be accessed via various access protocols:

  1. svn (svn://)
  2. http (http://)
  3. local file access protocol (file:///)

If you have a central repository location where all your repo's are located, and you want to create your repo in the same location, then you can click on the browse button. It will help you see the repository root used by your SVN administrator. BUt if this is a private repository and you want to create it on your own local host, try the file:/// protocol.The way to specify is this - file:///d:/mysvndir/rohit_repo
