Hi, i just tried my hand at CVSing my gallery install on my Linux server yesterday, and I managed to check out the latest code following the instructions here, but the last part, that is updating after the first check out, keeps failing. First, when I ran 'cvs update -Pd', I was told that CVSROOT was not defined, so I had to define it with set/export (or put it in the shell profile for permanent effect), which was not specified in the instructions ; now, this is what i get when I try to update : cvs update -Pd cvs update: authorization failed: server cvs.sourceforge.net rejected access to /cvsroot/gallery login for user anonymous cvs update: used empty password; try "cvs login" with a real password The strange part is everything works if I type : cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gallery login then cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gallery checkout -P gallery2 and I just have to hit enter after the first command (ie 'empty password') to login... but the authentication fails when using 'cvs update'... Any idea what I am doing wrong ? Thanks, Fred |

Should work fine, then all you need to do after that, to update, is cvs update from inside the gallery2 directory.

Hi h0bbel, thanks for the reply ; I tried what you suggested, and this is what happens :
I just hit Enter, command line goes back to prompt and I type :
which leads to a lot of "cvs checkout : updating..." messages, so everything is working. But if I type this afterwards :
I get :
I am in my server's gallery2 directory the whole time, so I really don't know why the SF server is rejecting my 'empty password'...

Ok, after deleting all my gallery directories and restarting from scratch, it worked ! Must have been something borked in my configuration.
Thanks for your help !

Tonton_Fred, yeah, you needed to do a fresh checkout, with no old CVS dirs around.
