CVS help

[Jérôme]

Does anybody of you know a bit about CVS? I've got an error on every action. I don't understand what it means and I need that to be fixed . It is

Code: Select all

end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

Unfortunately there are no messages...

I would really appreciate any help!

end of file from server (consult above messages if any)
The most common cause for this message is if you are using an external rsh program and it exited with an error. In this case the rsh program should have printed a message, which will appear before the above message. For more information on setting up a CVS client and server, see section 2.9 Remote repositories.

2.9 Remote repositories

Your working copy of the sources can be on a different machine than the repository. Using CVS in this manner is known as client/server operation. You run CVS on a machine which can mount your working directory, known as the client, and tell it to communicate to a machine which can mount the repository, known as the server. Generally, using a remote repository is just like using a local one, except that the format of the repository name is: 

:method:user@hostname:/path/to/repository

The details of exactly what needs to be set up depend on how you are connecting to the server. 

If method is not specified, and the repository name contains `:', then the default is ext or server, depending on your platform; both are described in section 2.9.2 Connecting with rsh. 

Server requirements: Memory and other resources for servers 
Connecting via rsh: Using the rsh program to connect 
Password authenticated: Direct connections using passwords 
GSSAPI authenticated: Direct connections using GSSAPI 
Kerberos authenticated: Direct connections with kerberos
