Arthur, I run Zope as normal user, e.g. carel. The zope instance is located at : /home/carel/zope_2_7 Is the /var/cvs/quality_system absolute or relative to the zope instance? I thought relative to the instance..... Maybe I am also missing something on CVS. Should I first do the 'export rootcvs' thing? Carel On Monday 19 April 2004 14:21, Arthur Chan Chi Chuen wrote:

As indicated, your cvs project folder (/var/cvs/quality_system) must have the permission granted to the cvs user.

I bet your cvs cannot create folder so it cannot add futher files into there.

I have a newbie CVS problem. I installed revision manager, but I can't seem to get it working. The error message I get is :

Error Type: CVSError Error Value: cvs import: cannot make path to /var/cvs/quality_system: Permission denied cvs import: ERROR: cannot write file /var/cvs/quality_system/.index_html.properties,v: No such file or directory cvs import: ERROR: cannot write file /var/cvs/quality_system/index_html,v: No such file or directory

Any idead?

Arthur, Thanks for the input, I got the beast working. I needed to chmod my /var/cvs directory and did the following : CVSROOT=/var/cvs export CVSROOT cvs init After that revision manager is adding things to the repository.

whether your zope startup as the "zope" user (by default)? anyway, try to grant right for carel and zope for testing purpose

I ususally use chown zope:zope (that grant permission for zope for sure) at the cvs project folder

/home/carel/zope_2_7

The zope instance is not relevant in your case.

it is absolute, it is the project folder inside the cvs root folder type: echo $CVSROOT to see if it is /var/cvs if so, your quality_system is your project name probably.

I'm not sure, but make sure the cvs works for your zope user can help you.
