Re: Modules and external repository

[Adam Witney]

Hi Gurpreet,

Yup there is a module file on the external server and I have set $CVSROOT to
point to the external server.

Does anyone know why this error message means?

cvs server: existing repository /usr/local/cvsroot does not match
/usr/local/cvsroot/bugs/php_dev
cvs server: ignoring module php_dev

Thanks

adam
