I am using the same server. Hmm, I will have to reread the discussions. I'm rather sure it was something else... IIRC I saw that too at one point and fixed it by upgrading CVSNT and I have never in my life used Cygwin so far. > C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\cgi-bin>cvs status case.pm > cvs server: conflict: case.pm is modified but no longer in the repository > =================================================================== > File: case.pm Status: Unresolved Conflict > > Working revision: 1.1 > Repository revision: No revision control file Another symptom of CVS looking at the wrong repository folder... CVS seems to be seriously confused for some reason. In the mildest case this is just about the metadata in your sandbox (that's my guess actually) but in the worst case your repository itself has become corrupted (I doubt that though). >From what I could tell you accidentally did a lot of things you were not supposed to do.

Is this not allowed? It is allowed alright. It's a bit uncommon but still alright. Typically you would use Add instead of Import to get new stuff into the repository once you've got a working sandbox... Also note that the import -C option should only ever be used for the very first import of a module and possibly never inside a folder that already contains CVS metadata. From Tony's comments I don't know if this is an issue that will eventually be resolved or if this will simply have to be noted down as an invalid command invokation but as it is now, import -C will blindly overwrite all existing metadata with hardcoded 1.1 (or 1.1.1.1 if you used the -n option) revisions even if it should really have been 1.2 or whatever. > >> C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\cgi-bin>cd cgi-bin > >> The system cannot find the path specified. > > > >You are already in it, aren't you? > > I just meant to verify that was no directory called cgi-bin/cgi-bin.

I missed that additional path element duplication in your original quote. Cheers, -- Oliver ---- ------------------ JID: ogiesen at jabber.org ICQ: 18777742 (http://wwp.icq.com/18777742)
