[never done this before, so please bear with me?] I have some problems setting up a CVS server on my Win2KPro machine. First I tried just installing it all: - ActivePerl (latest stable version) - CVSNT (latetst stable version: 1.11.1.2) - TortoiseCVS (latest stable version: 0.44) - WinCVS (latest stable version: 1.2) Then started the CVSNT service and added a repository (OK). Now, when using "locally mounted directory" mode, I tried creating a new module with TortoiseCVS. Trying to use ntserver or pserver things didn't work... I thought: "as usual with these kind of utilities, I'll need a lot of tweaking before things will work" and went to search for a good explanation. So, I went to: http://www.devguy.com/fp/cfgmgmt/cvs/ and followed the instructions (using pserver method, because also Linux machines need to connect to the CVS server). I also followed the passwd approach, since domain passwords appear to be easily cracked. After an hour or so (double checking all steps), it still doesn't work: it keeps telling me that my "testuser" is not a valid user: *** start of TortoiseCVS log *** In E:\Documents and Settings\ktanghe\Desktop: cvs -q -z6 checkout DVSBeatTracker cvs checkout: authorization failed: server argon.rug.ac.be rejected access cvs checkout: used empty password; try "cvs login" with a real password Error, CVS operation failed In E:\Documents and Settings\ktanghe\Desktop: cvs -q -z6 login (Logging in to testuser at argon.rug.ac.be) Success, CVS operation completed In E:\Documents and Settings\ktanghe\Desktop: cvs -q -z6 checkout DVSBeatTracker Fatal error, aborting. testuser: no such user cvs checkout: authorization failed: server argon.rug.ac.be rejected access Error, CVS operation failed Tortoise Tip: Sometimes login can fail if you have the repository directory wrong in the Checkout dialog. Make sure you have a slash at the start of the directory, and that the case and path are correct. Examples are: "/cvsroot", "/usr/local/cvs-repository", "/cvsroot/cvsgui" *** end of log *** Any clear explanation of how to simply setup a CVS server on a Win2K machine, using authentication, and available from Win2K and Linux machines? Sigh... Koen _______________________________________________ Cvsnt mailing list Cvsnt at cvsnt.org http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
