[cvsnt] loginfo help

[HODGES Mark]

Hi Bo,

Thanks for the few hints.

The SYSTEM path is correctly set.
There are no spaces located in the installation path.

I tried inserting the full location path and this came up with a new error -
ACCESS DENIED.

I checked with my IT department and there were restrictions on the PERL
directory. They changed this to allow everyone full access. I tried
committing a file again, unfortunately with the same new error - ACCESS
DENIED.

Any other ideas apart from getting a new IT department?

Cheers,

Mark.

Check that the perl folder is included in the SYSTEM path variable on the
server.
If it is then you can try rebooting the server.

If this fails you can explicitly give the perl interpreter location with
full
path in your logifo script like so:

DEFAULT c:\perl\perl.exe \perl\lib\cvs_loginfo_email.pl "%{sVv}" "$USER"

Note that if Perl is installed to a folder that includes embedded spaces
like
C:\program files\perl
then this will not work and you cannot fix it by using double quotes either.
In such a case the only remedy is to fix the SYSTEM path variable or
reinstall
perl to a "spaceless" path.

/Bo

Hi All,

I have been running CVSNT on a Win2K server for over a year without too many
major problems. I am currently using the following versions of software;
CVS NT version - 1.11.3 b66
WinCVS version - 1.3.10.1
PERL version 5 build 519

I use the LOGINFO file along with some DevGuy PERL scripts to send out
automated emails after each commit. The only addition to the default loginfo
file is the following line;
DEFAULT perl \perl\lib\cvs_loginfo_email.pl "%{sVv}" "$USER"

A few weeks back our wonderful IT department changed something, the person
left the company and now the automated emails no longer work! Whenever you
commit a file remotely, the following error message is returned;

'perl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file.

However if you commit a file from the server itself the emails are sent out.
Also if you open a command shell on the server and type PERL -v it finds the
application ok.

I have checked all the obvious things like paths and permissions but
everything seems to be ok.

Any help or advice is much appreciated.

Best regards,

Mark.
