Your configuration is bad, probably because you have not yet realized the confusing use of the word CVSROOT.... This is how it should be set: Valid Repository Roots = E:/CVS >From the client: Path = E:/CVS CVSROOT = :pserver:mdb at 10.0.1.251:E:/CVS Tthe "root" of a given repository on a CVS server *contains* a folder that is named CVSROOT. This folder holds vital repository management files and should never be accessed unless you are administrating the server... When people speak of the CVSROOT setting in a client context they mean the connection string used to specify where and how to connect. This has the general form: :protocol:user at server:repository where 'protocol' could be a number of varying identifiers (pserver, sspi, ext and so on) 'user@' could be specified or not depending on the protocol selected before 'server' is the name or IP address of the CVS server 'repository' is the name of the server side repository root, in your case E:/CVS The repository actually starts at E:/CVS and inside of this is where the modules go. At the beginning there is only one single module automatically created and this is the CVSROOT module containing the administrative files. It should be used only by CVS admins. You can add new modules to this server by cvs import for example, in this case you specify a path to the new module relative to the root of the repository, E:/CVS, not relative to the adminstrative module CVSROOT!!! Please retry.

I hope someone can help. Environment: Server: Win2K Advanced Server CVSnt 2.0.41 Client: WinXP Pro Wincvs Connection over local area network (for now) On the server, I created a repository at E:\CVS and initialized it with the command Cvs -d e:\cvs init Doing this created a subdirectory CVSROOT under CVS [E:\CVS\CVSROOT]. In the CVSnt Service Control Panel application, the following apply: Repositories Tab: Repository Prefix = False Valid Repository Roots = E:/CVS/CVSROOT >From the client: Authentication = pserver Path = E:/CVS/CVSROOT Host Address = 10.0.1.251 User Name = mdb:password CVSROOT = mdb:password at 10.0.1.251:E:/CVS/CVSROOT Force using the CVSROOT (-d) = True When I log in, I get ***** CVS exited normally with code 0 ***** Is that correct? When I try to put something to the repository, I get cvs add: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory cvs [add aborted]: no repository ***** CVS exited normally with code 1 ***** Can someone help me figure out why I get the no repository error and what I can do to fix it?
