title: svnadmin create -- Error?
body: <p>ok I installed the subversion binary from collabnet onto my win7 computer.</p>
  
  <p>when I ran the installed it put the main files in:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>C:\Program Files\CollabNet\Subversion Server</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>it also create an empty directory for my repositories here:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>C:\svn_repository</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I opened up a cmd.exe and rain this line:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>C:\Program Files\CollabNet\Subversion
    Server>svnadmin create /var/svn/repos</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>it gave me this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Repository creation failed<br>
    Could not create top-level directory<br>
    The system could not find the path specified</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>After research I found that the file path <code>/var/svn/repos</code> has to already exist. but WHERE?</p>
  
  <p>I tried add this file path to <code>C:\svn_repository</code> making it <code>C:\svn_repository\var\svn\repos</code> I also tried adding the path to <code>C:\Program Files\CollabNet\Subversion Server</code></p>
  
  <p>still get the same error everytime I run:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>C:\Program Files\CollabNet\Subversion
    Server>svnadmin create /var/svn/repos</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I also tried making the slashes backwards like:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>C:\Program Files\CollabNet\Subversion
    Server>svnadmin create \var\svn\repos</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!!!</p>
