There is a problem with the Repository

[Phil Greenway]

Hi,

Does CVSMonitor support anonymous pserver logins ?

I'm trying to setup connecting to a SF CVS server.

Details:-

Host: sourceforge.net
Port:
Path: /cvsroot/open-beos/current
Username: anonymous
Password:

CVSROOT: :pserver:anonymous@sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/open-beos/current

Any ideas ?

[Phil Greenway]

Path should be /cvsroot/open-beos

I tried both ... I tried leaving the extra : it puts in cvsroot

I tried using login details too no go.

I either get the above problem or

There is a problem with the host/port you specified
problem connecting to "sourceforge.net", port 2401: connect timed-out at modules/CVSMonitor/MetaData/Repository.pm line 279

The extra : is required.

It essentially encodes the password in the CVSROOT, :pserver:username:password@host:path

The error message is more interesting.

CVS Monitor uses Net::Telnet to try to open a connection to the port ( 2401 by default ), and assumes that the initiation of the connection means a CVS repository exists. I've never had a problem with this method.

So I would imagine that you have some form of network issue? "connect timed-out"

However, I can ping sourceforge.net from the shell.

I also downloaded all the Perl Modules via the net.

Is this a firewall issue ?

doh ... it's a very simple issue - the host name is

cvs.sourceforge.net  not just sourceforget.net ...
