When you "bring over" an existing repository tree from an older server you should proceed as follows: 1) Install the new CVSNT (2.5.03.2207 for example). Already done. 2) In the control panel of CVSNT add a new repository and let CVSNT initialize it (This means that the ./CVSROOT folder in the repo is created and populated) 3) Copy over the old repository files (all folders and files *except* the CVSROOT folder. 4) Check out CVSROOT somewhere and edit the scripts you want to use as appropriate. At this point you could even copy the script files from your old CVSNT server to the *sandbox* and overwrite the files you have checked out. But please convert the line endings (unix2dos) of these files unless you got them from a CVSROOT sandbox checked out from the old server. Of course you should *not* copy over the RCS files (those ending in ,v). 5) Commit the changed files back in Now I think you are set completely. Notice that all of the file revisions and tags, branches, log messages etc are stored in the RCS files and these are not affected the least by what you do in the CVSROOT folder. So your development content history is quite safe.

I did do a standard installation of CVSNT, but the repositories were not created by this installation. They were brought over from a previous CVSNT 2.0.58d installation. Is that my problem? If so, how do I correct it without losing any of my content history? ..David.. -----Original Message----- From: Flávio Etrusco [mailto:flavio.etrusco at gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 3:31 PM To: David Jackman Subject: Re: [cvsnt] Dead cvs.exe processes I indeed meant CVSROOT scripts (historyinfo, taginfo, notify, etc). AFAIK no scripts are setup by the default module init, though, and I don't have any other ideas :-( The module was initialized with your current version of cvsnt, right? (older cvs and cvsnt "servers" used to have a script to generate a 'history' file) -Flávio On 1/18/06, David Jackman <David.Jackman at fastsearch.com> wrote: > Thanks for the response. > I'm not sure what you mean by scripts. With a standard install, are there scripts installed? I haven't set up any scripts personally.
