hi friends,

i have installed CVS server in linux server and now i am not able to configure and install viewcvs. Kindly, guide me to install and run the viewcvs in my system.

regards,
KMB

installing viewcvs is fairly straight forward where exactly are you stuck, what error are you getting ?

hi,

when i run the following command in IE then it throws the error which is below the command line:

http://localhost:7467/viewvc and enter


error:
An Exception Has Occurred

cvs not found! The wrong path for this repository was configured, or the server on which the CVS tree lives may be down. Please try again in a few minutes.

The repository path is /home/cvs/CVSROOT


then i try to run the ./standalone.py command from terminal
it throws the following error:
./standalone.py -r /home/cvs
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./standalone.py", line 643, in ?
cli(sys.argv)

self.socket.bind(self.server_address)
File "<string>", line 1, in bind
socket.error: (98, 'Address already in use')


Kindly, help me to sort out this problem.

Thanks & Regards,

The error on the command line is because another viewcvs process is already running and bound to the port
