[Zope] RevisionManager

Hello,

I have a question regarding RevisionManager version
1.3.2.

Here is my configuration:

CVSNT version 2.0.8 is installed on a Windows XP
server (server01.mycompany.com).
CVSNT version 2.0.8 is installed on a Windows XP
workstation (c01.mycompany.com).

I can use the CVS repository hosted by server01 from
c01 in a DOS prompt:

>set
cvsroot=:pserver:robert at server01.mycompany.com:/test
>cvs login
  ... (enter password) ...
>cvs checkout yoyo/rdir/myfile.htm

And the file gets checked out.

I instantiated a RevisionManager in a Zope instance
hosted by c01:

Server address: server01.mycompany.com
Repository path: c:\cvsrepo (this is the path on
server01 – is it correct?)
Module name: test
Access method: pserver
Username: robert
Password: mypassword
CVS executable: “c:\program files\cvsnt\cvs.exe”
RSH exec: (* not set *)
Compression level: 3
Include ZODB history: yes
Debug mode: unchecked

I had to create a directory c:\tmp to instantiate a
RevisionManager. Before doing that, I got errors. I
deleted the original RevisionManager and re-created a
brand new one.

Everything looks fine. I can add objects to my
RevisionManager, and files get created in c:\program
files\myzope\var\RevisionManager\temp\test together
with “.properties” files.

But now, it looks like that I cannot create or check
in files in my repository hosted by server01. I have
no error, but nothing happens.

There are 2 things that bother me:
1) I haven’t created an explicit home directory for
the user running Zope (username Owner – it is a
privileged user who has full control over the
machine). Is it something I should do? If yes, how to
do it?
2) I am a bit confused by this repository path... is
it on the server (server01) or on the client (c01)?

Thank you very much for your help,
Robert
