My SVN repo is on Cloudforge. I use VS2012 with AnkhSvn for dev. In my Windows Explorer, I am using TortoiseSVN v1.8.7

I am trying to "checkout" my entire project into a fresh folder. It has 2 folders, 1 for the web application, and 1 for the data layer code.

I right clicked within the empty folder and click on Checkout. All seems fine then it suddenly stops with the message:

Error retrieving REPORT: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

I have Googled this widely experienced issue, but to no avail regarding a solution. Can you recommend some solutions to attempt.

Thanks.

EDIT1:

StackTrace received when attempting Checkout via AnkhSVN.

SharpSvn.SvnSystemException: Error retrieving REPORT: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

  • Do you get the same error in AnkhSVN and TortoiseSVN? – bahrep Aug 09 '14 at 07:44
  • I have now tried this from AnkhSVN via "Open from Subversion" which does a "Checkout" as well, but then got the error again, but this time with a StackTrace. See EDIT1. I have raised a ticket with Cloudforge. – SamJolly Aug 10 '14 at 23:08
  • I'm having the same problem, started happening after their latest migration on Aug 8th. – Petrucio Aug 11 '14 at 05:43
  • (...)"a new, more reliable Subversion service architecture for Cloudforge. We are in the process of migrating"(...) More reliable my ass. – Petrucio Aug 11 '14 at 05:43
  • It's been 12 days since you reported this and I've just run into the same thing. CloudForge's response is that they are "working on it". Guess we're finding a new provider too – James R Aug 21 '14 at 20:37
  • XP-Dev.com still working fine for me. – SamJolly Aug 22 '14 at 00:24

If it worked with AnkhSVN previously and now suddenly stopped then the root cause is most likely on the side of CloudForge hosting. Contact their support or wait.

  • Thanks, I have raised a ticket now with Cloudforge. Getting the error with AnkhSVN, as well, points to a Cloudforge issue. – SamJolly Aug 10 '14 at 23:12
  • Now with CF, and they are still trying to resolve. I got issues with Commit as well. – SamJolly Aug 12 '14 at 11:43
  • CF on the case. However it prompted me to test another provider which is xp-dev.com which I am finding robust. Pricing seems sensible to. – SamJolly Aug 14 '14 at 10:01

I was having the same error with subversion running on a local server at my office. I was trying to get on it over VPN with tortoise svn. I tried smart svn and got the same error....

Turns out I needed to forward port 1994 for OpenVPN on my router to my machine, giving my machine a reserved ip address and forwarding the port solved my problem.

No more error.

If you are running windows 10, chances are you'll need to forward a port for any VPN you might be using.

I had the same issue when using VPN with CollabNet's SubversionEdge.

I simply enabled Subversion Server should serve via https in Configuration -> Server Settings and this solved the issue for me.

I also posted this answer here.

If you are using Apache, try to put this two lines

SVNAllowBulkUpdates Prefer
LimitXMLRequestBody 0

In your svn config file. Take a look in the following link
