500 Internal Error, CVSROOT not found! .....

Hi List,

I just configured Chora according to a earlier configuration on my 
server, but when i
try to use it, it only gives me:
_________________________
*500 Internal Error*
*CVSROOT not found! This could be a misconfiguration by the server 
administrator, or the server could be having temporary problems. Please 
try again later.
_________________________

The configuration of cvsroots.php looks as follows:

_________________________
$cvsroots['koeln.it'] = array(
    'name' => 'koeln.it',
    'location' => '/var/cvs',
    'title' => 'koeln.it CVS WebDev Repository',
    'cvsusers' => 'CVSROOT/cvsusers',
    'intro' => 'horde-intro.txt'
);
**_________________________

There are two users which have access to the cvs-server:
user 'lmh', group 'lmh'
user 'hhardt', group 'hhardt'
both of them are also member of the group 'cvs'.

_________________________________________

[Fwd: 500 Internal Error, CVSROOT not found! .....]

I found the error myself, here the sollution:
the line:

'location' => '/var/cvs/',

missed a slash (/) at the end.
so instead of '/var/cvs' it wanted it to be '/var/cvs/'.

Stupid error...

I am wondering why chora doesn't parse this location-string, i am sure 
lot's of newbies will get a problem with that...

Anyway, thanks for the great program!

Yours

Hi List,

Support for Windows Usernames, Part 2

Spaces in Windows usernames are causing problems again. This time it's about 
Annotate. I had noticed a problem with it a while back, but only today did I 
realize that it was related to spaces in the username. The diffs of both RELENG 
of chora/ and HEAD of framework/ are included for your convenience. As 
before, please credit me as Gordon P. Hemsley, with the e-mail address as 
gphemsley <at> users.sourceforge.net.

On a semi-related note, are the usernames on Annotate supposed to be 
truncated? My username of "Gordon Hemsley" shows up in the Annotate Author column as 
"Gordon H". Not sure if that's a bug or not....

Chora not seeing files

Hi,

I'm a new user to Horde and Chora, and have managed to get it working 
successfully (latest releases). My only problem is, whilst browsing the 
CVS, I can only see the folders, and not any files. I have managed to 
use CVS web successfully (but it's not very pretty, hence the change to 
Chora) so it's not a problem with my installation.

I'm using Windows 2000, PHP 4.3.6 and Apache 2. I've installed CVSNT 
successfully and can use TortoiseCVS to commit changes etc. That all 
works fine. I've downloaded some RCS binaries too from 
http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/trinkle/RCS/ and given the full path to 
them in conf.php for the paths, and tried every combination I can think of.

I'm not getting any error messages, just literally that Chora can't see 
the files. Any help and advice would be much appreciated.

Regards

Jay

Chora works on CVS *repositories*. Not *checkouts*.

Dear Jay,

Check that RCS binaries have execute permissions or not. If not give execute
permissions.

Re: Chora not seeing files

Thanks for the help guys. After much searching I finally tracked down 
and solved the problem through a lot of trial and error. It basically 
boils down to Chora not parsing a directory properly. I had to perform a 
couple of other hacks to get the view and download options to work (both 
were returning Server errors). I'm actually having a problem with the 
Annotate option now. I've tracked down where the error is but I haven't 
got a clue on how to fix it. The basic error is that cvs.exe is moaning 
that it can't open the repository, and it keeps returning a weird string 
which is a mixture of the entry parameters.

Ah well, it's not needed desparately and I can live without it for the 
moment. Thanks again.

Jay

And you really run Chora on a repository, not on a checkout?

Committed, thanks.

Sounds like a bug. I don't see anything in the code where we cut the
usernames to a certain length or some such.

Re: Chora not seeing files

Yes. But it didn't like it without the trailing slash (or with the 
slash, I forget which but it's not very good in that it can't parse the 
directory).

BTW, based on your signature can I presume you have some official 
capacity with Horde? It's just that I've found loads of bugs in Chora, 
some against Horde's coding conventions too, and I was wondering to whom 
I should inform of these bugs (and their respective fixes).

Regards
