Vmware Server and Subversion issue

Question

Hi all, i am having some issue with subversion installed in a windows server 2003 virtual machine under vmware server.

The issue is as follows :

• After start the windows server virtual machine i was able to checkout files and commit files for like half to 1 hour

• Then i encounter the following error when trying to commit files : A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

• But i am still able to checkout files. At this point of time i try accessing my windows server virtual machine through the vmware console but it was very slow. I checked the cpu / memory usage and nothing was unusal.

• I also used some malware checker to remove like 10 to 11 malwares. But the same issue still occur no matter how many times i check and restart the server.

I am thinking of doing a windows update. But i really hope experts here can shed some light on how to resolve this issue.

Thanks

There should be absolutely no malware in your server. If you have some (as you indicated that you do), the best thing to do is make a copy of your Subversion repository, then set up a new server instance without malware. Then restore your Subversion repository into the new server image.
