CVS Script Help please!!!

Posted: Tue Aug 19, 2003 5:51 pm

OK..

Please can someone help me here, ZX...Anyone???

I know there is comments in the CVS_Script but I am still not sure which lines to comment in or out.

I have an empty .cvspass file in my root directory on the server.

Can someone please explain which lines would be commented in or out and on which occations etc.

Code:

# The following line logs into the Nuke Cops CVS Server anonymously.
#cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.nukecops.com:/home/cvs login

Does this line need to be commented in on every update?

Code:

# The following line does a betaNC repository checkout. This should only be
# used for an initial checkout.
#cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.nukecops.com:/home/cvs checkout betaNC

Does the above line need to be commented in on only the first update or all of them?

Code:

# The following line does the actual update to your site using the CVS.
#cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.nukecops.com:/home/cvs update -I config.php betaNC

OK - Thats obvious!

Code:

# The following line logs out of the Nuke Cops server.
#cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.nukecops.com:/home/cvs logout

I take it the above line only needs to be run if the login line has to be run?

Sorry if this seems like bunch of silly questions, but none of this is obvious to me.

Cheers.

I would leave the first two and the last line you hilighted commented out. (Only if you already have the bundle on your server. )Personally I just run the update by hand by entering:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.nukecops.com:/home/cvs update -I config.php betaNC into a command line. It seems to work ok for me but occasionally misses files.

I'm sure all problems will be ironed out soon. These guys are far too clever for their own good Wink

Cheers for that Badger....

Badger / ZX / Anyone...

Please have a look at this....I have a blank .cvspass file in my root (Thats where my home is - following ZXs instructions earlier)

sh-2.05$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.nukecops.com:/home/cvs update -I config.php betaNC
cvs update: authorization failed: server cvs.nukecops.com rejected access to /home/cvs for user anonymous
cvs update: used empty password; try "cvs login" with a real password

Any ideas what is going wrong anyone?

Code:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.nukecops.com:/home/cvs login

run the above line manually using anonymous as the password, then try

Code:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.nukecops.com:/home/cvs update -I config.php betaNC

I'm already assuming you have the betaNC bundle installed and that it resides in the folder betNC. Run the script from your root (not your betaNC root).
I aint no expert but it worked for me

Thanks a lot badger.

I do already have the bundle installed. I can log in manually.

Tell me when you run the update does it actually give you anything back?

When I run it....it will just come back to the command prompt with no messages....is that supposed to happen?

Cheers.

It should display quickly all the directories and files and tell you if they are getting updated.

Noper...it doesn't. It comes straight back with nothing....I can feel a PM with a user ID and password coming on!

This site is installed with version 1.12.1 of CVS - bang up to date.

Yeppers I sent it to zx@nukecops.com - Thanks if you could get me up and running with all of this it would be a real help. Please teach me how to fish though because I want to be able to offer this to anyone who wants it. I'll talk to you more about it in the premium area over the next week as there is a whole load of things I want to do.

Hi'ya you have to cvs login first and enter the password manually. Then simply never log out. Use the log in command manually from the script.
