I’ve created a SubVersion server on one of the machines in my workgroup. From my development box I’m able to access the repository and check in/out files without any problem.
I’ve just installed TortoiseSVN and no matter what I do it won’t connect to the repository on the server. I get the infamous error ‘No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it’.
Does anyone have any ideas why this might be..? As far as I know, the tortoise shell extension is running under my user credentials. It seems strange that the SVN command line tools work correctly, but not Tortoise.
Both machines are running Vista
NOTE: In both cases I’m using the svn protocol to connect
Finally, I’ve fixed it…! The problem seems to be with the Subversion package I downloaded. I downloaded the latest version of SlikSVN (1.5.5) and installed it on my client and server. It seems TortoiseSVN doesn’t like this build/version. I just uninstalled SlickSVN on both machines and grabbed the latest version from CollabNet and now everything works as expected!
