i found a more recent guide for installation of CVS.
http://www.person13.com/blog/archives/000048.html
Now that i have read the article that he wrote i am getting a new error message.
login with:
"cvs -d
server:maxma@cvsserverip:/usr/local/cvsrepository/ login"
error msg:
"/usr/local/cvsrepository/project1: no such repository"
but it does exists. i manage to checkin and check out files at the terminal with the correct $CVSROOT path. $CVSROOT=/usr/local/cvsrepository/
help?
Thanks in advance~
