[cvsnt] CVSNT installation on an NT web server

[Ian Epperson]

We played around with CvsWebNT, and had problems with it - hard to configure
and crashed too frequently.  IIRC, it doesn't seem to be well maintained.
ViewCVS on the other hand, was fairly easy to setup and configure and hasn't
given us any problems.

Note that neither of these projects can function as the "one and only gui"
because they are view (or download) ONLY.  Neither allows you to commit
changes, add files or add modules.

We use ViewCVS for browsing, but the real work is in the CVS client -
TortoiseCVS.  It's a wonderful product that integrates into the windows
explorer.  It allows general users to right-click their way to CVS
happiness!  Without tortoise, we wouldn't be using CVS.

Hi!

Has anyone compared ViewCvs and CvsWebNT in practice? Which one do oyu
prefer if you intend to use it as the one and only gui used by project
members managing source code and other files? 

Cheers,
Benni

What really do you mean by:
Windows NT Webserver?
Software installed?
cannot access?
The CVS is empty?

These statements are somewhat strange.....

Seriously,
CVSNT is installed on a Windows NT type machine (NT4, W2000 or XP-Pro).
If that same PC also has a web service running (Microsoft Internet
Information Services) is
completely irrelevant to the CVSNT installation, they have nothing in
common.

If you want to add the *extra* possibility to enable users to browse through
the CVS files
using a web browser, then you must instell extra software for this on the
same server.
What you need is ViewCvs for Windows, RCS57 and Python 2.2 or CvsWeb for
Windows, RCS57 and PERL.
Then you also need to configure these items correctly.
They will access the CVS repository and publish its contents in a web
adapted way.

I was wondering if anyone here couuld give me a few tips on setting up CVSNT
on Wndows NT webserver.
I have the software installed and is running fine but I cant access it
through any networkcomputer even though I have permissions (user group
assigned to it). The CVS is empty now but want to find out more about the
root directory within the repository.

If anyone could help me with this one, I would really appreciate it.

Regards
Sid
