I have Installed CVSNT 2.5.01 Build 1976 on Windows XP SP2 with no firewall using a default installation options. Using the web guide at http://cvsnt.org/wiki/InstallationTips as my reference, I have created the folder D:\CVS as my repository through the CVSNT control panels. Then, I have opened a command-line shell, and set the CVSROOT to a local path D:\CVS, and my current path at C:\temp. I performed "CVS co CVSROOT" which executed successfully. Then, I have tried to update the repository after editing file cvswrappers, and I get the following error "cvs [update aborted]: Failed to obtain lock on /.directory_history,v: FAIL Lock not within repository". I have verified that Locking Server Service is running through the control panel. Is this a known issue? I am not sure how to proceed. I've not modified any other options.
