I decided to go with 'subversion'. I also decided to use it's own server instead of appache. It's working locally but not remotely yet. I'm still trying to find out why.
This is how I know it's working locally on the cvs server/repository. After creating the project1 repository.
# svn co svn://nameofthisserver/repositories/projects/project1 somedirectoryname
Checked out revision 0.
For remote access, from windows, I'm trying WinCVS. I've followed their recommended settings for the clients. I'm getting this error.
" cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to "remoteserver":2401 failed: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it."
Ok, here's a bit of background about the server system and some of the troubleshooting I've done. I've read and read, but there's something that I'm not understanding perhaps.
. subversion's svn server expects request on port 3690.
this is from netstat.
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3690 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
. subversion's svn server has been started as a daemon instead of through inetd.
from ps
root 14184 0.0 0.2 3528 1064 ? S Feb17 0:00 svnserve -d
. /etc/services says that.
cvspserver 2401/tcp # CVS client/server operations
cvspserver 2401/udp # CVS client/server operations
. If I need to use inetd, I'd like to use xinet instead.
this is from /etc/xinet.d/
amanda chargen-udp dbskkd-cdb finger ipop2 krb5-telnet pop3s rsync swat time
amandaidx comsat echo gssftp ipop3 kshell rexec servers talk time-udp
amidxtape daytime echo-udp imap klogin ktalk rlogin services telnet vsftpd
chargen daytime-udp eklogin imaps kotalk ntalk rsh sgi_fam tftp wu-ftpd
I don't see anything i can use and control via /etc/rc.d/inet.d/xinetd [start stop, etc]
. Right now, I'm not using any kind of encryption.
. I'm authenticating via /etc/password (NIS).
. I can telnet, or ssh to it. NO problem.
I guess I need to really understand what wincvs for windows is sending or expecting. I have even tried to force it to knock on port 3690. It doesn't seem to make any difference.
I haven't tried any other methods or client utils yet. I figure that they all send, expect the same thing and if one is not working probable it has to do with the server.
The other thing, it appears that I have some sort of client/server installation already on the server: cvs-1.11.1p1-7, rcs-5.7-15. Would this be causing some conflicts. I didn't think they would affect anything; that's why I haven't uninstalled.
I'm sure it has to do with some little silly setting somewhere.
Thanks for your attention to this posting.
Rafael.
