You need to restart your server before you will be able to create a
repository.  There are other notes in the CVSNT documentation for
getting started in CVSNT, but I would strongly recommend reading through
the entire user's guide before going too far (so you understand where
your source code will be going and the implications of the different
storage mechanisms, etc. etc.).

Tony--Can you detect a new installation and force (or strongly
recommend) a reboot in the installer?  One of those "you must restart
your system to complete the installation...".  It's a frequent issue
that, with this partial remedy, at least the user will have some
indication what they need to do.

Hope this helps.

Glen Starrett.

Subject: [cvsnt] newbie: Cannot create repository


Hi
I have downloaded cvsnt2.0.0. Installation went through fine. In my c:\
drive i created cvsrepo and cvstemp directories. cvsnt is installed in
c:\program files directory.

I statrted cvsnt applet from control panel. I gave repository prefix as
c:/cvsrepo and tried to create a repository test.

I got a message Repository initialsation failed. To see errors, type the
following at command line: cvs -d C:/cvsrep/test init. When i tyrped
this on my command prompt it gave me a message 'cvs' is not recognized
as an internal external command ,operable program or batch file. (Do i
need to put something in path)

Please let me know.
I am using this as reference http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki/InstallationTips

Even though repository creation is failing it is creating test directory
under cvsrepo and is adding it valid repository roots. Thanks Kumar
