Solution to CVSNT Permission Denied Error Message

CVS

The problem:

A CVSNT user can commit some files but other files come back with a rather cryptic message saying permission denied:

The server reported an error while performing the "cvs commit" command.
version3: cvs server: cannot change mode of file /cvsrepos/test.cfm,v: Permission denied
version3: cvs [server aborted]: cannot rename file /cvsrepos/,test.cfm, to /cvsrepos/,test.cfm,: Permission denied

 

This is caused by the Windows account associated with the cvs user not having enough permissions to overwrite files saved by another Windows and cvs user.

The Solution:

Grant the Windows user associated with the cvs user more permissions in Windows.

Glad to see proof that others are still using CVSNT :) I'm just starting and can't use anything else due to reasons beyond my control. I was quickly able to fix this problem b/c of your post... Thanks!
