i have base and receiver in the same server.I am trying to do reverse deployment from a folder (tmp) to another folder (ravi) but while deploying the following error is coming
***ERROR - Starting deployment.
Reason from server: DEPLOY_CONFIG_FILE

First of all - you cannot install both the Base and Receiver software on the same server (if you did, it's a bug and your system is probably screwed up and you should uninstall everything and start over) -- Instead you are doing what is called a loop-back / stand-alone deployment.

Next, you're trying to do a reverse deployment in a loop-back environment, which may not work since reverse deployments are only supposed to work with Receivers and explicitly not with Base Servers as the reverseSource.

However, since this is a loop-back deployment - you don't need to do a reverse deployment - you can do a forward deployment from 'tmp' to 'ravi'

If your intent was to "practice" doing a reverse deployment in preparation for doing it in another environment - then I think you're stuck until you have a real environment to test it in (note: I do not have OD on my dev system right now so I cannot verify a lot of the above - however, the information is based on a lot of past experience. If someone can verify mistakes in the information presented - please do so - but include product version and platform information if you do)
