I am unable to connect to CVS server. I get "Login failed" error. This is on win2000. My collegaues tell me they are able to connect from Solaris. Steps to see the bug : 1. Install CVS on windows2000. My cvs.exe is available at C:\winnt\system32\cvs.exe 2. Select "Versioning->Mount VersionControl->CVS" and you will see a dialog box 3. Provide working dir and click "next" 4. Select "Password Server" (my CVS server is running on solaris machine) 5. Provide servername, username, repository and click "next" 6. Select "Use CVS command-line client support" and provide the path to cvs.exe 7. Select "login to Pserver at .." and provide password I am unable to login. It says login failed. But, in step 6, if I choose "Use built-in CVS client" I am able to connect successfully. The problem is only with "Use CVS command-line client support" login.
reassigning to vcsgeneric module..
I have no idea what can be wrong. Please after the unsuccessfull login select the offline mode and click Finish to mount the filesystem. Then go to Runtime tab and find the mounted filesystem under "VCS Commands" node. Double-click on LOGIN_CHECK command to see the error message. Please provide the error message, otherwise I can not know what's bad. Thanks.
Resolving as works for me in the mean time, since this works for all of us... Please reopen in case it's not a user error.
The output that I see in the "output of VCS commands [LOGIN_CHECK]" dialog box : "cvs server : cannot find module `-c` -ignored cvs [checkout aborted] : cannot expand modules".
The output that I see in the "output of VCS commands [LOGIN_CHECK]" dialog box : "cvs server : cannot find module `-c` -ignored cvs [checkout aborted] : cannot expand modules". I tested on Win2000, in MS-DOS window, the follwoing command "cvs co ." It does not work. I get an error saying : "cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory. cvs [checkout] aborted: no repository".
Well, frankly it seems to me like some kind of configuration problem ... Are you sure your CVS settings are correct ? Could you send us "Execution String" of LOGIN_CHECK command ?
Can you please try "cvs checkout -c" on the command line? Which version of cvs.exe do you have? This command should execute without problems if the cvs installation is O.K. Do you use Window's CVS executable or cvs from some Unix distribution (like CygWin)? BTW: if you log in by built-in cvs, then you do not need to log in for command-line cvs. It shoud tell you, that you're already logged in and you can proceed with Next or Finish.

The command string for DO_LOGIN is : vcs.commands.CvsLoginCheck.class and the Standard error is : Login failed. cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules The command string for LOGIN_CHECK is : cmd /X /C "cd /D \"E:\test\"&& \"cvs\" -d \":pserver:vijayam@bsqe-giant:/expor t/home2/cfcvs\" -d \":pserver:vijayam@bsqe-giant:/export/home2/cfcvs\" checkout -c " and the Standard error is : [cvs server: cannot find module `-c' - ignored] [cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules] I am able to checkout sucessfully from DOS command prompt using CVS. I had to create an environment variable "HOME" setting to somevalue (in my case I set it to C:\temp". Then CVS checkout worked. But this solution did not help with my problem of using command-line cline in FFJ.
I wonder if using the command-line You have done plain "cvs checkout ." or "cvs -d <your CSVROOT> co -c" . It would help us if you could try the latter and let us know if there's a problem or it works correctly. The error message: [cvs server: cannot find module `-c' - ignored] [cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules] usually indicates that there are problems with access rights to the repository (as described for example in "K. Fogel: Open Source Development with CVS") In your particular case, this seems like the problem might lie (just a wild guess here) in the access rights to the CVSROOT directory.. can you checkout the CVSROOT directory without problems? Could you please send us the modules+config files that resides there? Thanks..
Well, since the command C:\WINNT\system32>cvs checkout -c does not work for you, there has to be some problem in CVS configuration. I think, that Milos is right with his interpretation of the problem. Resolvind as "works for me".
Unless you provide us with desired information I verify this issue.
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
