You are givin the repository a name that includes characters that are
NON-USASCII. Probably since you are from India you are trying to use
Hindi characters in the repository.
THis is not really good practice because the characters may not be
usable for some clients. Please use USASCII characters only in
repository configuration.

I get a feeling that you have not at all read up on how CVS works.
This is no good if you are installing the system for others to use
like you described. At the very least *you* should get comfortable
with how CVS is designed and used for version control purposes.

By just going ahead and blindly installing servers and tools withouit
usage knowledge you are only going to create confusion in your
organization....

I recommend that you read up on this at least using the Internet
resources. Some examples:

http://cvsgui.sourceforge.net/newfaq.htm

There are more, try Google...
