I'm new at both TortoiseSVN and VisualSVN Server. I've installed VisualSVN standard edition on my PC and created a repository and could checkout from another PC (both are in the same network). But cannot checkout from my PC. It says Error: Error running context: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.. But I can browse the Repo from my browser. I'm using 443 port by VisualSVN Server. What can I do make a checkout at my PC? Thanks in advance.

The proxy was causing this issue for me. To solve it:

  1. Right click in Windows Explorer
  2. Go to TortoiseSVN > Settings
  3. Unselect Enable Proxy Server OR add the server's hostname to the Exceptions
  4. Hit OK / Apply

Thanks Much... Wasted time thinking it was on VisualSVN server side

  • Make sure that you use the correct URL (e.g. copy the URL via VisualSVN Server Manager),

  • If the URL is correct and you still get the error, I suggest following these steps:

    1. Start VisualSVN Server Manager,
    2. Go to Action | Properties,
    3. Switch to Network tab,
    4. Under Server Binding, choose All IP addresses option,
    5. Click Apply and see whether you get the error or not when accessing VisualSVN Server via Subversion client.

If the above steps do not help, check VisualSVN Server log for errors.

It is my default setting still the problem occurs. I'm using VisualSVN 2.7.6 and TortoiseSVN 1.8.6, Build 25419 - 64 Bit.
The problem was with my proxy setup. I by mistake turned on the proxy setting on tortoisesvn which was creating the problem. Thanks for your help though.
@CoolBrain you can add this proxy stuff as the answer to your question and accept it as the solution.
