Hi
CVS NT Service 1.11.1.3 (Build 57a)
[When I'd finished writing this I found the solution (at the
bottom) but I might as well post it anyway...]
I want to place my repository on a Network drive. The reason for
this is that the file server here is a Novell machine, and I can't
run the CVS server on the Novell machine directly (as far as I know).
The problem is that when I try to use a repository on the network
drive I get an error. When I try to set it up I get the error
Repository initialisation failed. To see errors, type tyhe following
at the command line:
cvs -d y:/data/cvsrepository init
So I do that, but no error occurs. The CVSNT control
panel has however managed to make the directory
cvsrepository, which wasn't there before. I then
restart the CVS service so it can see the new repository.
When I try to import a project into the repository I get
the error:
Cannot access y:/Data/cvsrepository/CVSROOT
No such file or directory
The directory seems to exist.
All this works fine on a local drive, or when I use
the directory directly instead of going through the
server. I don't want to use the local drive because
the backup situation isn't as good, and I don't want
to access the repository via the shared drive because
I am told that is dangerous (though it works fine on
Unix, I've been doing that for years with NFS).
I'm logged in as Administrator, but the login name
on the Novell server is a different one.
Is the CVSNT service able to impersonate the Administrator
or is there a problem there? Can I switch on some logging
option to get more info about what is goin on? I'm using
the ntserver access method and impersonation is enabled.
'Use local users instead of domain is off'.
Ah, I just found out that was the problem. When I set it to
on it works. Makes kind of sense actually.
I'll just post this anyway in case it helps anyone with a
similar problem.
