Re: Problems with raising a CVS Server



Check if you have the directory /var/cvs/CVSROOT
If not you probably didn't do: cvs init

Check also the permissions on the directory, I don't know the setup of
Mandrake, but you need a cvs daemon running, usually it is through
inetd, check on what username it runs and make sure it can write there.
