I am installing the CVSNT server for the first time (V2.08). This behavior has happened repeatedly on Windows 2000. I intall a CVSNT and add a repository with a prefix. d:/cvs = prefix repository = /cvsdev i have a folder named d:/cvs/cvsdev with subfolders. these show up when i do "fetch list". the behavior i see--which is only alluded to in the docs as "an internal server error"-- creates a directory tree but just before extracting files i get the error: cvs checkout: in directory .: cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory after this the folder is wiped out. I have seen this issue mentioned but never really resolved, i assume b/c of communication off the list. I know there is probably a very obvious solution to this, but I can't see it. i can also see a folder being created in my cvs 'temp' folder, and the entries file is pointing to a file that does not exist, like: d//MYSUBFOLDER when it should be d//cvs//cvsdev//MYSUBFOLDER just pulling at straws for potential issues. i amusing cvsnt in conjunction with tortoise CVS client V1.4.5 in case that has anything to do with it, but i doubt it since this is working on windows NT4. i have also seen this same behavior using CVSNT2.51D and latest TORTOISE release(1.6.14). any help would be much appreciated. best, paul
