Hello–

I believe I have installed subversion and all of its dependencies  
correctly. I also edited the .bashrc and .bash\_profile files according  
to the numerous directions i found. (one of which is here, for bluehost:  
[http://wiki.oursky.com/index.php/Setup\_a\_BlueHost\_Account#Make\_Subversion\_Dep\_.28Apr.2C\_Apr-Util.29](http://wiki.oursky.com/index.php/Setup_a_BlueHost_Account#Make_Subversion_Dep_.28Apr.2C_Apr-Util.29)).

However, every time i try to access a repository i get the ‘unrecognized  
URL scheme error’. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I’m not sure  
if this is even the right forum for this question, but i figured if  
someone knew they would answer or otherwise point me in the right  
direction.

Thanks,  
Damonica

What command are you using to access your repo?

i’m actually trying to install a radiant(cms) extention using the  
following command:

svn export  
[http://svn.seancribbs.com/svn/rails/plugins/extensions/page\_attachments](http://svn.seancribbs.com/svn/rails/plugins/extensions/page_attachments)  
vendor/extensions/page\_attachments

following the directions here: [http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Extensions](http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Extensions)  
(using the ‘Alternately’ directions as i am not using subversion for my  
project).

I do know that the link exists and the files are there and that i am in  
the correct directory before trying to execute the command…but this is  
all very new to me, so troubleshooting is pretty much nil–and of course  
my webhost doesn’t support it so they’re no help on this one.

Thanks for your help.

I’m able to run your svn export command successfully. It sounds like  
you may’ve missed a step when installing svn.

thanks everyone…i did rule out all of the other issues, so i know  
there was something with the svn. there is something particular with my  
webhost that is causing the problem since i did install and make all of  
the documented changes…though it’s not supported by my hosting co i’m  
hoping someone in the forum there will get back to me–there seems to be  
at least one person that got this to work.

thanks for your help.

Have you ruled out the answers from their FAQ?
