Connect to external SVN repositry?

Say that there is a SVN repository at https://www.example.com/svn (Not hosted by WebFaction) would it be possible to do a checkout of that repository?

I have tried:

svn checkout https://www.example.com/svn

but get "Could not resolve hostname" error. I have also tried: `

svn checkout svn+ssh://username@example.com/svn

` with an error of " svn: To better debug SSH connection problems, remove the -q option from 'ssh' in the [tunnels] section of your Subversion configuration file. svn: Network connection closed unexpectedly"

Is what I am trying to do possible?

Thanks!

It sounds to me like there is either a problem with the DNS records for www.example.com, or there is a problem with the resolving DNS servers used by your WebFaction server.

If this issue is still affecting you, then please open a support ticket so that we may investigate it.
