This is a counter-intuitive problem for me. I have a new Win 2003 server on a static IP address w.x.y.z. Tomcat 7, PostgreSQL 9.1, and Subversion are installed. All of it appears to be working fine from the server itself. We can also access the Tomcat manager, web applications, and run "svn ls svn://w.x.y.z/" from outside our network.
However, when I try from another machine in the office, phpPgAdmin and svn cannot establish connections with the server. http://w.x.y.z:5432/phppgadmin cannot connect. The svn command from above returns:
svn: E730061: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn://w.x.y.z/'
svn: E730061: Can't connect to host 'w.x.y.z': No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
Tomcat manager and the other web apps we have deployed work fine.
Netstat -a from the server shows this:
Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP SERVERNAME:3690 SERVERNAME:0 LISTENING
TCP SERVERNAME:5432 SERVERNAME:0 LISTENING
Windows Firewall was off, but just in case I also tried to enable it and open ports 3690 (svn) and 5432 (postgres). No change.
I don't have access to the router/switch because it just doesn't work that way in Port-au-Prince and our sysadmin is on R&R. Is there anything that might be causing the problem from the server side?
