"No connection can be made because the target machine actively refused it"

Anvil Q&A
1

Hi gang!

I’m getting this error appearing on my dashboard:

“AnvilWrappedError: [Errno 10061]No connection can be made because the target machine actively refused it”

Was working yesterday and now i get this.??

Running server on windows 10. Turned off firewall in case that’s what it was but still it appears.

Any ideas?

Thanks a million :slight_smile:

Hi @michaellavers,

Can you provide a bit more context? Which piece of software are you running? Where is it connecting to? Can you provide some example code?

Hi Meredydd. Thanks for your reply.

I’m running the code from python 2.7. I start the python IDLE GUI, and load up a python script and run it. It successfully connects to the anvil server but when I press a button on my anvil dashboard (accessed via an iPad) I get that red error message in the bottom right corner of the anvil dashboard “AnvilWrappedError: [Errno 10061]No connection can be made because the target machine actively refused it”
