Does CVS work for you again?

[stefanhendriks]

I wonder and ponder...

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

Some people say it works, but I never managed to get TortoiseCVS to work again.

It's not :pserver: anymore, it's :sserver: now (SSH).

Ask Onno for details. If I was the only admin on this server, I would not have set up things exactly as they are.

Been trying for a while with WinCVS, but having no success. I tried using 'psever' (set up as per here, ie "pserver = sserver_protocol.dll" and module "realbot" etc) but all I got was an error response:

cvs [server aborted]: cannot make directory /home/bots-united.com/cvsroot/realbot/CVS: Permission denied

I tried setting it to SSH, but got another error:

cvs checkout: warning: unrecognized response `'"ssh"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
' from cvs server

So no luck with WinCVS yet :'(. Of course I don't know a lot about using it, so if someone with more experience could experiment a bit it might yield some results.

In other words - help ???

[added] that vBulletin bug seems to have cropped up again

[stefanhendriks]

I will try it myself when i have time, probably tomorrow.

I used Tortoise CVS. WinCVS did not work for me

[BertieB]

Just tried using tortoise CVS. Same error as above (no permission to create directory).

Any special settings I should have apart from the ones in the link in my post above?

[stefanhendriks]

Odd. It must mean the CVS is not set up right afterall. I don't know how to configure it, i had an URL but i lost it and i never got one again. I could edit user(groups) there. Perhaps something is wrong with the permissions or something.

[BertieB]

Ok I've been playing about with tortoise CVS, and have found the following:

Working (accessible) CVS modules:

-CVSROOT
-metamod
-filebase
-meansrc
-podbot
-'root-bin'

Not working modules (inaccessible due to permissions thing mentioned earlier):

-realbot
-fritzbot
-wiki

So it would appear that after the server change some of the new (redone) accounts haven't been fully configured. This, however, is only a guess.

Hopefully it will be back in full operation soon so development can recommence...

hm, using another auth as before ? something more secure maybe like on sourceforge ? or is everything like before with the cvs stuff ?

at least my old username doesnt exist any more

Sigh. I reiterate my previous comments about moving the CVS to sourceforge.

If we can actually get it in the first place.

Once the server has been reconfigured properly there shouldn't be any need to move to SF.
