Re: [BorCVS-support] absolute pathname '...' illegal for server

[Markus O. <che...@gm...>]

Hi,

I just tested disabling the "create missing directories" option:
I clicked the menu item "Commit <M_F_Main>..." but first I couldn't
find the option. Then I clicked the "Update..." button, there disabled the
"create missing directories" option and clicked "Ok".
Is this what you meant? For me it looks like this option is only for Updates
not for Commits. Anyway I got the same error:
 >>>
F:\Bingo_Develop\Source\>"F:\Progs\CVS for NT\cvs.exe" update -P 
F:\Bingo_Develop\Source\M_F_Main.PAS F:\Bingo_Develop\Source\M_F_Main.dfm
absolute pathname `F:/Bingo_Develop/Source' illegal for server
Exit code: 1
<<<

Then I closed the log window and clicked Ok on the Commit dialog
which produced this error:
 >>>
F:\Bingo_Develop\Source\>"F:\Progs\CVS for NT\cvs.exe" commit -F 
F:\Bingo_Develop\Source\CVS190.tmp F:\Bingo_Develop\Source\M_F_Main.PAS 
F:\Bingo_Develop\Source\M_F_Main.dfm
absolute pathname `F:/Bingo_Develop/Source' illegal for server
Exit code: 1
<<<

These are my system environment variables on the server:
CVSHOME=E:/
CVSROOT=:local:E:/CVS/CVSNT     { = CVSNT install dir }

and this my user environment variable on the client:
CVSROOT=:ntserver:primergy:E:/CVS/CVSNT

Maybe there is something wrong with this ?

Thanks for your time,
Markus

PS:     I'm using CVSNT 1.11.1.3 (Build 57b) (on server and on client),
         BorCVS-0.4 (on client only) and WinCVS 1.3b8 (on client only).
         Because I read it is required for CVSNT or WinCVS I installed
         Python 2.2.1 (on server and on client) and
         ActivePerl 5.6.1 build 631 (on server and on client).
         server and client both have Win2000 Pro SP 2,
         client has Delphi 5 Ent Upd 1.
