Hi,
we want to use a new directory for our repository. It is currently
residing in
/data/cvsroot
and using Red Hat 7.2. That repository is working correctly. It is a NFS
mounted directory.
The steps we take are
1) Rename the above to
/data/cvsroot_old
2) Create a new dir called
/data/cvsrep
3) Execute
cvs -data /data/cvsrep init
4) Copy the passwd file from the previous repository.
5) We change the file /etc/xinet.d/cvspserver to point at the new location.
6) We change access rights, mainly to 775. Set the owner and group to
"cvs" which is also the user defined in /data/cvsrep/CVSROOT/passwd.
This is the same passwd file as in the previous repository.
7) Restarting
/etc/init.d/network restart
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
Needless to say this doesn't work when we try to access the fresh
repository... regardless of what we do we get
address@hidden lth]$ cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:address@hidden:2401/data/cvsrep
CVS password:
/data/cvsrep: no such repository
This error message comes regardless of if we fake a user, use the
correct values and so on.
We suspected there was some config file which links directly to
/data/cvsroot, but a grep on the whole harddisk revealed nothing.
There is nothing in ~/.cvsrc on the client machines.
So now we are feeling rather lost (read stupid) having googled and
how-to'ed through anything we can think of - where is the problem?
Thanks in advance,
lars
