CVSNT and Eclipse

[Jan van Doorn]

I am trying to setup CVSNT under Eclipse, both on my local machine.
With CVSNT I created a repository under C:\CVS

In Eclipse, repository view, I try to create a connection:
Location: Host=ALEXANDRIA (name of my computer)
Repository Path=C:\CVS

Authertication: User=[windows username] (is this correct? have not setup any users under CVSNT)
Password=[windows password]

Connection: connection type=pserver
x user default port

Error message: "Error validating location: I/O exception occured: connection refused: C:/cvs no such repository"

Obviously CVSNT was running (both service and lock service).

What is wrong here ?

Did you initialize the repository?

[Jan van Doorn]

Hello Nathaniel,

First I created the repository from the command prompt...
cvs -d :local:c:\cvs init
... and checked that the CVS tree was there, starting with CVSROOT.

Then started CVSNT control panel and added the newly created repository in the repositories tab.

Next I tried to register the new repository in Eclipse, with the result as described in my first post.

Hi Jan,

Try the following:
HOST = localhost
PORT = <the CVS server port you can see in the CVS service control panel>
Repository Path= /CVS

And don't forget to let CVS know that the window user
may access the repository. This is done under the
DOS-prompt with the appropriate cvs command.

Try it and let us know.

Cheers,

Hello Gian,

Interesting advice... I got a bit further, however in eclipse, while trying to setup a connection I get the following error message:

CVSNT repository: ' server:Administrator@localhost:2401/cvs' is configured to use a repository prefix. However, CVSNT does not always properly communicate resource paths in this mode resulting in the failure of some specialized Eclipse CVS operations. The use of a repository prefix should be disable if the full functionality of the Eclipse CVS is desired.

Hopla, found it !!

Did a bit of googling on this 'repository prefix' thingy, found this:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=39516

------- Additional Comment #2 From Michael Valenta 2004-06-16 16:46 -------
This has been fixed in CVSNT. Enable repository prefixes and on the Advanced
page of the CVSNT control panel, enable the "act like a Unix server" option.


Those 2 chechboxes finally did the trick, everything works !

Thanks very much for pointing in the right directory !

Cheers, Jan

Hi, I'm experiencing exactly the same problem as the one you seem to have had and fixed. The only problem is that I can't find 'Enable repository prefixes' option anywhere:-(

Any help would be great....

We're pleased to have you here with us on the Ranch, but there are a few rules that need to be followed, and one is that proper names are required. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.

Thanks!
