Dear Sir, I am working on installing the CVS 1.12.7 (have already tried the 1.11.1p1) on the Linux RedHat Advanced Server 2.1.
Everything setup all right (and I can used intellij to load the source code into the CVS1.12.7 repository, the real problem is in checking out the source from the CVS and I get the read lock failure message): I follow the steps bellow: To get it simple, I used the root user to set this up: 0. Create a group called "cvs" and a user call "victors" and put the user "victors" into the "cvs" group. 1. Installed the CVS successfully. 2. Created a new repository root succcessfully: /cvs1.12.7 and changed the group ownership recursively right under the cvs1.12.7 root directory to the "cvs" group, and then also right under the /cvs1.12.7 directory, I ran this: chmod ug+rwx . CVSROOT 3. Then I registered the cvspserver as a service, updated the xinetd.conf accordingly, updated and restared the xinetd successfully. And finally I can use the nmpa localhost | grep 2401 and I can see the xinetd is running. Now I login using my id say "victors" and I am at my home directory, and I used the following command: cvs -d :local:/cvs1.12.7 co CVSROOT However, it shows me the following error: cvs checkout: Updating CVSROOT cvs checkout: cannot create read lock in repository `/cvs1.12.7/CVSROOT': No such file or directory cvs [checkout aborted]: read lock failed - giving up Please know that this problem should not be related to the permission setting because of the following reasons: 1. As you can see from the above there is NO permission error showing 2. I have double checked the permission setting on the directories in the CVS ropository and they are all right, and I even used the root user to try and it comes out with the same error message. I have done a lot of research regarding this problem on the internet and found no help and all of the similar problems are related to their incorrect permission setting...But in my case there is no problem with the permission setting. I am now wondering whether this is the bug in CVS or there is the bug on the RedHat Advanced Server 2.1, however I believe this looks more likely a bug on the CVS rather than on the O/S. As I need URGENTLY to finish the setup in order to let the development activities to proceed smoothly, it would be EXTREMELY HIGHLY appreciated if anyone could provide the help on this regard!!! Thank you very much in advanced!!!!!!
