CVSers,
I have just started a new position and am trying to get a CM environment up and running using CVS. When I run either WinCVS
or tkCVS from a MS 2000 environment using CVS 1.10.8 on a solaris box managing the repository, all functions seem to work
with the exception of cvs commit. I get the following message from both clients when I try to commit:
cvs commit -m "Test commit" purpose.html (in directory D:\WORKAREA\cm\website\)
cvs [server aborted]: "commit" requires write access to the repository
*****CVS exited normally with code 1*****
The CVSROOT is set to andwall@localhost:/home/cvs/repository with pserver authentication
on WinCVS.
Environment setting on pc for tkCVS:
CVSROOT is set to :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvs/repository,
USER is andwall,
Path has been expanded to find diff.exe, cat.exe, and cvs.exe.
I have done the following on the unix server:
The userid I am using (andwall) on the solaris box is in the /etc/passwd file and been added to a groupid of cvs.
The repository has been set up in the home directory of an id cvs and is owned by cvs with rwx permissions.
The default groupid for all of the repository directories is cvs with rwx permissions. (World is r-x)
A directory repacc has been created in the cvs home directory with a groupid of cvs. The permissions are rwxrwxr-x.
I have ensured the CVSROOT/config file has the following line:
LockDir=/home/cvs/repacc
I have ensured the CVSROOT/config file does not have the following line:
SystemAuth=no
I have ensured the CVSROOT/history file has permissions of rw-rw-rw-. Owner/groupid is cvs/cvs.
After the following lines were added to /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf, the system was rebooted.
The /etc/services file has the following line:
cvspserver 2401/tcp
The /etc/inetd.conf file has the following line:
cvspserver stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/cvs cvs -f --allow-root=/home/cvs/repository pserver
Has anyone encountered this message? (I'm all ears)
Can anyone comment on what I might have missed?
Thanks in advance for any help.
