The CVSNT service runs in account SYSTEM and on a W2000 machine system has no access permissions on c:\winnt\temp or anywhere below c:\Documents and Settings (where user temp dirs are stored). Therefore the correct way to handle the CVSNT installation is to create a special temp dir like c:\cvstemp or similar and use that as the temp dir for CVSNT. This can be set in the control panel applet on the server. And this has nothing to do with the slashes, what you did was simply to log in and execute the commands in your account, which has permissions on the temp dir. And of course then it works like expected... /Bo On Wed, 15 May 2002 19:06:13 +0000 (UTC), Suhail Warsi <suhail_warsi at yahoo.com> wrote: >I'm am trying to create import a new repository. > >I type the command > >cvs import -m "starting new repository" repository >vendor_tag release_tag > > >using the appropriate substitutions. > >When the command executes, it fails with the error >message > >can't create temporary directory >C:\WINNT\TEMP/cvs-serv1108 >Permission denied > > > >When I manually try to create the directory replacing >the "/" with a "\", it creates the directory - >apparently Windows2000 is confused by the slashes - >does anyone have any info about how to work around >this? > >Thanks > >__________________________________________________ >Do You Yahoo!? >LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!
