Thanks for the advices mates!

I have installed the CVSNT and wincvs. Works just fine. Wanted something that could work with a browser and port 80. 

Will give ViewCvs a try then. Tried hard to get CVSWEBNT to work with IIS (I normally don't use the IIS but wanted to find out more about it). It doesn't. 

Are you running your stuff with Apache or IIS? 

Cheers,
Benni

And I perhaps will add to both previous speakers to say that both
viewcvs and cvsweb have a bad habit of giving "internal server error"
messages intermitently, particularly during times of heavy load.

Just to add to the previous speaker,
I also have used both CvsWeb and ViewCvs and I think that the ViewCvs is
a bit better than the other. Both work OK though. CvsWeb use Perl and
ViewCvs uses Python. We use CVSNT server and WinCvs clients and I have
also integrated email messaging with CVSNT that produces emails with
module, file and diff links for the committed files and this uses the
ViewCvs/CvsWeb to display the data. Rather neat and easy to use.

We played around with CvsWebNT, and had problems with it - hard to
configure and crashed too frequently.  IIRC, it doesn't seem to be well
maintained. ViewCVS on the other hand, was fairly easy to setup and
configure and hasn't given us any problems.

Note that neither of these projects can function as the "one and only
gui" because they are view (or download) ONLY.  Neither allows you to
commit changes, add files or add modules.

We use ViewCVS for browsing, but the real work is in the CVS client -
TortoiseCVS.  It's a wonderful product that integrates into the windows
explorer.  It allows general users to right-click their way to CVS
happiness!  Without tortoise, we wouldn't be using CVS.

Hi!

Has anyone compared ViewCvs and CvsWebNT in practice? Which one do oyu
prefer if you intend to use it as the one and only gui used by project
members managing source code and other files? 

Cheers,
Benni

What really do you mean by:
Windows NT Webserver?
Software installed?
cannot access?
The CVS is empty?

These statements are somewhat strange.....

Seriously,
CVSNT is installed on a Windows NT type machine (NT4, W2000 or XP-Pro).
If that same PC also has a web service running (Microsoft Internet
Information Services) is completely irrelevant to the CVSNT
installation, they have nothing in common.

If you want to add the *extra* possibility to enable users to browse
through the CVS files using a web browser, then you must instell extra
software for this on the same server. What you need is ViewCvs for
Windows, RCS57 and Python 2.2 or CvsWeb for Windows, RCS57 and PERL.
Then you also need to configure these items correctly. They will access
the CVS repository and publish its contents in a web adapted way.

I was wondering if anyone here couuld give me a few tips on setting up
CVSNT on Wndows NT webserver. I have the software installed and is
running fine but I cant access it through any networkcomputer even
though I have permissions (user group assigned to it). The CVS is empty
now but want to find out more about the root directory within the
repository.

If anyone could help me with this one, I would really appreciate it.
