CVS Monitor / Discussion / Help: Permission to repositories lock error

Adriano Andrulis - 2003-01-20

I can su to www-data and checkout any modules manually.
If I set repositories' permission to 777 (what is isn't a option) cvsmonitor work all right.
I'm using a 770 file permission, and set guid.

How should I set permissions in order to cvsmonitor checkout my modules.

Thanks in Advance,

  Hmm... I'm not entirely sure what your problem is.
  
  Bearing mind CVS Monitor uses pserver to access the repository, you can usually deal with permissions by changing the passwd and writers file appropriately.
  
  Find details regarding the passwd and writers files in the main CVS docs.
  
  The user the web server runs the application as doesn't check out modules using it's own user, but the one provided for the pserver user.
  
  In my case, I have all my cvs users mapping to a single 'cvs' user, including the anonymous user, and a writers file that contains all the users I allow to actually write, which is basically all of them except anonymous.

  Thank you!!!
  This solve my problem.
  We dont use pserver here, so I started it just to use with cvsmonitor.
  Probably I would waste my time in other subjects before think in pserver users.
