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!

Yes, you must specify a mirror. I added 'uk.' and cvs update worked.
