On this I installed all of the components I have been using before but this time I did it from the ground up and configured everything to be the same as the old server. I used CVSNT 2382 installed using the MSI installer from the CVSNT Wiki. End result: The server runs just fine! :-) No more networking problems and lost packets and the CVSMailer emails are sent as required. I also installed Apache 2.0.59 instead of using IIS for ViewCvs and it worked just fine too. So I guess the problems were caused by the way the IT department migrated the old Win 2000 server by ghosting it and then installing the ghost image into a VMWare virtual machine. Best approach: Install the server components from scratch and then only copy over the data from the old server. HTH /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
