Sync to CVS problem

[Juan Rivera <Ju...@citrix.com>]

Hi,

I have previously downloaded a copy of the Apache server code from the cvs
repository using "anoncvs" login and
CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic. 

However, I am unable to connect to the server for the past couple of days. I
get the following error:
 (Logging in to anoncvs@cvs.apache.org)
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: recv() from server cvs.apache.org: EOF


Also, if I use the other server (CVSROOT=
:pserver:anoncvs@CVS.Sourcery.Org:/cvs/apache) I can connect to the server.
However I cannot export the code using the command "cvs export -d httpd-2.0
-r APACHE_2_0_44 httpd-2.0".  I get the following error:
cvs export: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied
cvs export: warning: cannot write to history file
/cvs/apache/CVSROOT/history: Permission denied
cvs export: Updating httpd-2.0
cvs export: failed to create lock directory for `/cvs/apache/httpd-2.0'
(/cvs/apache/httpd-2.0/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
cvs export: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/cvs/apache/httpd-2.0'
cvs [export aborted]: read lock failed - giving up

Any ideas what may be wrong?

Thanks

Juan

I just tried this and it worked fine for me.  If you do an nslookup on
cvs.apache.org, what address do you get?

I don't know anything about sourcery.org, can't help you there.
