Simple CVS question

Simple CVS question

This is the first time I have tried to upgrade using cvs. I followed all the instructions in CVS for Administrators, including running a script to change my Root files.

For your information, here is what a Root file looks like (after running the script):

:pserver:anonymous@cvs.moodle.org:/cvsroot/moodle

Now I login to cvs

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.moodle.org:/cvsroot/moodle login

(works fine) and do the update

cvs update -dP

but cvs tells me

Cannot access /cvsroot/moodle/CVSROOT
Permission denied

What am I doing wrong?

Incidentally, CVS for Administrators implies that you MUST choose a mirror. In other words, that cvs.moodle.org must have a SERVER prefix in front of it (either eu., es., or uk.). I didn't do it. That's not my problem, is it?

I think you DO have to put the whole server name:
eu.cvs.moodle.org

Well, I use tortoise, but putting the server name made a difference for me! Hope you figure it out!

Hi A.T.,
Yes, that's the way the documentation reads. I had just finished adding a question about that to the end of my post, but you had already replied.

I'll try adding eu. It looks like I'll have to change my Root files too.
Thanks!
