Cannot expand modules

[Manish Koolwal]

Hi,

I am using wincvs 1.1b17 and a cvs 1.10 with pserver
on Solaris. I can login OK and imported a module into
the repository working as root. When I try to do a
checkout, I get the following error message:

cvs -q -d
:pserevr:ro...@192.168.1.188:/export/home/repository
checkout
\\192.168.1.188\export\home\repository\module (in
directory C:\KPCMS\CMSCP)
cvs server: cannot find module
`\\192.168.1.188\export\home\M7SCCPREPOS\module' -
ignored
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules

*****CVS exited normally with code 1*****

I had gone through the manual. There is nothing wrong
with the permissions. Then what does this mean? How
this problem can be resolved?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Manish

That looks like you've got the remote repository mounted on a local
directory using NFS or Samba or some other network file system. If so,
DON'T DO THAT, it's a recipe for disaster. Just access it using
pserver:

cvs -q -d:pserver:ro...@192.168.1.188:/export/home/repository checkout module

And don't use backslashes in CVS commands -- use forward slashes. And
don't run as root. And you might want to set $CVSROOT so you don't have
to keep typing that long -d option all the time.
