[cvsnt] Connect PHPEclipse with CVSNT?

[Steve McLeod]

I think I am close to getting PHP Eclipse and CVSNT working together, but I
am missing something.

 

I am using XP Pro SP3.

I have WAMP server with Apache 2.2.11, MySQL 5.1.33, and PHP 5.2.9-2 running
without any troubles.

I have Zend PHPEclispe 1.2.0.2009 (Eclipse 3.5.0.I2009). This appears to be
working as I have a project that runs in the Zend debugger and Eclipse
browser.

I have March Hare CVSNT 2.5.04.3510 running. I see two services, cvslock and
cvsnt in the XP services list.

I've added two environment variables: CVS_RSH=C:\Program
Files\CVSNT\extnt.exe and CVSROOT=C:\CVSROOT.

The command line: cvs init -f -a MyProjects seems to have initialized the
directory indicated by CVSROOT.

I get this message: cvs init: Repository MyProjects <C:\CVSROOT> initialized

I have this directory structure after init:

C:\

   CVSROOT

      CVSROOT

         CVS

         Emptydir

 

In my Apache server I've created an alias http://localhost/CVSROOT to
C:/CVSROOT

 

http://wiki.eclipse.org/CVS_FAQ#Server_Issues

At this web page I found some info.

In extnt.ini I have the following:

[CVSROOT]

protocol=sspi

hostname=localhost

directory=/CVSROOT

[cvs.cvsnt.org]

protocol=sserver

hostname=cvs.cvsnt.org

directory=/usr/local/cvs

 

This command:

cvs -d :ext:. at CVSROOT:/CVSROOT/MyProjects version

also cvs -d :ext:. at CVSROOT:/CVSROOT/CVSROOT version

also cvs -d :ext:. at CVSROOT:/CVSROOT version

Produces this message:

[extnt] Unknown response 'error 0 /CVSROOT: no such repository

What am I doing wrong?

 

I do not understand the syntax or parameters in these phrases:

:ext:. at CVSROOT:/CVSROOT/MyProjects

Or

:pserver:anonymous at dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse

This one is an example from Eclipse.

 

I assume that anonymous is a userid and that . (period) substitutes for the
absence of a userid?

I assume that wherever I see a URL in an example that I should substitute
localhost for my local Apache server?

According to the directions I should be able to paste the following into the
Eclipse host name and voila!

:ext:. at CVSROOT:/CVSROOT/MyProjects

But I get this:

Error validating location: "Unknown response received from cvs server: "

Looks familiar. What am I doing wrong?

 

I have Shu-Wai Chow's book, "PHP Eclipse: A User Guide", and tried his
pserver instructions with no better results.

He indicates the necessity of establishing a userid and password in CVSNT
that is the same as the XP userid and password. The command he uses on page
163 did not work and my attempts at using pserver with Eclipse have worked
no better than my attempts using ext.

I get this message:

Error validating location: "Could not connect to
:pserver:. at localhost:/CVSROOT: I/O exception occurred: Connection refused:
/CVSROOT: no such repository"

What am I doing wrong?
