Hi, everyone!
Im trying to upload files to CVS, but I have trouble. I get some access denied errors from the server. I cant even check out files anonymously, which everyone should be able to.
I get errors like:
cvs checkout: failed to create lock directory for `/cvsroot/wf2' (/cvsroot/wf2/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
cvs checkout: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/cvsroot/wf2'
cvs [checkout aborted]: read lock failed - giving up
When I do the same on the ie7 project (check out anonymously), it works. (I get the CVSROOT folder with the default config files).
I'm using TortoiseCVS bit I've also tried in WinCVS, and I get the same error.
Anybody have any idea what could be wrong?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
When I was setting up CVS for a school project I did cvs import -m "a comment" projname vendor-tag start
projname and vendor-tag were the project name and vendor tag respectively.
I am by no means a CVS expert but I've been muddling through CVS trying to figure out how to these basic tasks myself recently.
Hope this helps,
Paul

I did the following:
setenv CVSROOT ":pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/wf2"
cvs login
At this point I went to look at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wf2/ and couldn't any projects. I think that's the problem.
