RE: Unable to connect to CVS: to Concurrent Versions System (CVS)

[Abdul . Khan]

Hi All,

Could any one please help me out in knowing as to why I get an error message


cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied

while I am import Module/checkout Module from WINCVS 1.2 (Win NT 4.0
platform) to CVSROOT repository(cvs 1.11) on linux platform.

Note: I checked out the whole of the cvs server directories but I was unable
to find .cvsignore file.

Regards,

Abdul
