TortoiseSVN cannot create new repository on VisualSVN Server

I have VisualSVN Server install on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Machine. I have TortoiseSVN install on my local PC. I can connect to VisualSVN fine. I can checkout Projects fine.

My issue is when I want to import a New Project into VisualSVN Server from my local PC using TortiseSVN.

If I import a New Project using TortoiseSVN, I get the 3 errors.

If I manually create an Empty Repository 'NewProject' on the Windows Server 2008 machine using VisualSVN Server, when I import the the actual Project from TortoiseSVN on my local machine, everything works.

I think I have all the Permissions setup correctly on the Windows Server 2008 machine. Can the local TortoiseSVN machine create a New Repository on VisualSVN Server? Do I need the Enterprise Edition to do that?

The work around is fine, but I don't want to create new Repository all the time on the Windows Server 2008 machine, if I can just do it all on my Local PC.

AFAIK you always need to create repositories on the server using svnadmin; if there's no repository, the svn server has no way to authenticate you. – Kenney

With any SVN server, you need to create the repo first.

With VisualSVN Server, create new repo in Visual SVN gui console, and setup the access permisions - all in gui console.

See https://www.visualsvn.com/server/screenshots/, images #5 and #6.

After repo is created and configured, you can checkout it with TortoiseSVN client
