<P>Phil,
<P>I tried changing the repository root in the viewcvs.conf file as you suggested:
<P>from: d:\cvsserver\cvsrepo\wrk
<P>to: \ \servername\d$\cvsserver\cvsrepo\wrk
<P>But now I get an error where python can't find the files, even though I can browse the same path with Internet Explorer (I tried using the IP instead of the server name as well). Any Suggestions?
<P>We're using: Win2000 SP3 with IIS, cvsnt_1.11.1.3.exe 64, rcs57nt.zip, ActivePython-2.2.1-222.msi, viewcvs-1.0.dev-win-r2.zip
<P>(The \\ can cause HTML based EMail programs to change the output, so I put a space between them in this email)</P>
<P>((((ViewCVS/Python Error:
<H3>Exception</H3>
<H4>ViewCVS Messages:</H4>
<P><PRE>\ \server1\d$\cvs_server\cvsrepo\cvs_wrk\ not found!
The server on which the CVS tree lives is probably down. Please try again in a few minutes.</PRE>
