[Sandweb-users] RE: Sandweb repository issues

[Alainna C. W. <awo...@ah...>]

I think the issue is when I specify the parameters as such: 

Name: cvsroot
Server hostname: localhost
Username: awonders
Vcs type: cvs
Connection: local
Root: /cvs_root/

It isn't seeing the modules (I've already imported two).  

This means I can't check out anything.

In SandWeb, click on the module name to get to the "browse module" menu.
You should see a pulldown select form that has a "commit" option on it.
