Re: LockDir setup and is it really working?

[Jeff Vincent]

Thanks Larry,  works great.   It appears to be using the LockDir as I specified.  So, can I assume that the error message was erroneous and that it was telling me the wrong file?   When the permissions for my user were wrong, it told me it couldn't open lock file, but the name was not the lock file name, it was the repository file name.   Jeff   >>> Larry Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 05/26/00 03:46PM >>> Jeff Vincent writes: > > I have a CVS server with a LockDir set in the CVSROOT/config file.  > How can I tell if it is actually using the alternate lock directory?  The easiest way is by running CVS on the server:  check something out, modify a file, and start to commit it.  When CVS pops up the editor for the log message, look for the lock files -- they should be in the directory tree under LockDir; if not, look in the repository.  You should see one file named #cvs.lock and another that starts with #cvs.wfl. When you're done, exit from the editor without entering any text and abort the commit at the prompt. -Larry Jones Well, it's all a question of perspective. -- Calvin
