I think this is better asked on the ViewCvs list rather than here. Since CVS is a system to be likened with a backup system in many respects security of files is a prime concern. So CVSNT itself refuses to handle repository files not on the same PC as the program itself. Reasons are aplenty, among these file write-delete-read latencies must be kept to a minimum, networks are known to be disconnected once in a while and we do not want this in the middle of an operation etc. ViewCvs in later incarnations use cvsnt functions to parse out the repository files, true, but still it passes beside the client/server protocol and goes directly onto the files themselves. Since ViewCvs runs in the context of a webserver it will not get any permissions on a Windows network to go outside its own PC to read files. possibly this is different on Linux, but there I have no info (not a Linux guy). But I suggest you bring this whole issue over to the ViewCvs community instead. /Bo -----Original Message----- From: cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org [mailto:cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org]On Behalf Of Matt Schuckmann Sent: den 1 juni 2005 18:15 To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: Re: [cvsnt] CVSNT+Viewcvs Query Database I've looked at the ViewCVS code and from what I remeber they only reason it needs direct access to the repository files is to get directory listings. It seems that this part of the code could pretty easily be replaced using the cvs ls command. Is there any other reason that ViewCVS needs direct access to the repository? Matt S. "Bo Berglund" <Bo.Berglund at system3r.se> wrote in message news:mailman.238.1117636445.32221.cvsnt at cvsnt.org... No, that cannot be done. The requirement for ViewCvs is that ViewCvs itself has *direct access* to the repository files because it does not use the cvsnt service to get information to present. Thus it is out of the question to put ViewCvs on a different PC than the Win 2003 that is hosting the CVSNT server. Concerning the database it is another matter, I have never used a database connected to ViewCvs so i don't know this by personal experience. But I have many years of database experience in general and as long as Viewcvs uses the standard client/server call model to MySql I see no real problem in putting the database on another box (even on a Linux box). But as I said, it depends on ho ViewCvs accesses the database. /Bo -----Original Message----- From: cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org [mailto:cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org]On Behalf Of Vinay Jhumun Sent: den 1 juni 2005 12:39 To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: [cvsnt] CVSNT+Viewcvs Query Database Hi, If anyone can help me please, I hve installed CVSNT 2.0.58d on a Windows Server 2003. Well, what i want is using the viewcvs n the query feature. Is it possible installing the CVSNT 2.0.58d on the Windows Server 2003, and that the viewcvs and the MySQL database installed in another box, let's say on a Linux. That is while commiting something on the CVSNT server (Windows Server 2003), the MySQL database which is on the Linux will be automatically updated. If so please help me how it can be achieved. Thnks in advance, Regards, Vinay _______________________________________________ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs _______________________________________________ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
