i have a computer that has windows xp

i install cvsnt on it and i create a repository in c:\test_repository

i connected to it locally import a program to it updating and committing it

every thing work fine

now i want to access this repo. from another computer on the network

i used the pserver method

i tried first to access it locally

when i tried CVS -d :pserver:amir:123456@192.168.1.111:/test_repository init

192.168.1.111 is the ip of my server and amir and 123456 the username and the password

it returned error cvs [server aborted]: Protocol error: Root request missing

i tried CVS -d :pserver:amir:123456@192.168.1.111:C:/test_repository init

it returned error cvs [init aborted]: C:/test_repository: no such repository

i tried to set home=C: or Root=c: but the same error happened

what is the solution here please?

The command you are trying to execute, init, needs local access.

To initialise your repository you need to do something like this:

cvs -d c:/test_repository init

This will initialise your repository, and you can then access it remotedly (if properly configured...)

  • I would try in this oder: First make sure everything works locally. Then try to use remote commands from your local machine. Then try from another machine. It might be that your ssh daemon is not properly configure, that it is not started, that a firewall is in the way etc... – Krist van Besien Apr 02 '13 at 15:13
  • every thing work locally when i call remote command from local machine it never work and go infinity i use pserver not ssh – امير طارق Apr 03 '13 at 05:55
