Collapse
Posted by Al Guyer on
using the instructions:
https://openacs.org/doc/openacs-5-2/aolserver4.html

and using the command:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:mailto:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/aolserver co -r aolserver_v40_r10 aolserver

I am getting the error:
cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to cvs.sourceforge.net(66.35.250.207):2401 failed: No route to host

that ip pings just fine but when I try:
telnet 66.35.250.207 2401

I get:
Trying 66.35.250.207...
telnet: connect to address 66.35.250.207: No route to host

sourceforge has changed their cvs access requirements for aolserver. See:

https://openacs.org/xowiki/pages/en/aolserver-install

which is part of the new docs we are working on, to be more responsive to changes.

THANK YOU! That worked like a champ! The documentation format of xowiki is GREAT! It is much easier to follow than the older format.

I get exactly the same error (no route to host...) but cannot find the solution within the "new" documentation.

In how far did sourceforge change the cvs access requirements?

http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=3152

...the install-docu seems to be a little outdated

Are you saying the aolserver install docs at https://openacs.org/xowiki/pages/en/aolserver-install are out-dated?

Could you explain what you did differently to get it working for you?

I'm very sorry for "shooting from the hip".

I knew there were 2 different docu-versions but obviously took the old one (https://openacs.org/doc/current/aolserver4.html).

I found the new cvs-server urls at sourceforge and thought the docu was outdated.

Probably one should put a "warning" at the old docu-page with a link to the new one.

We need to change (whatever place we need) ...

cvs.sourceforge.net

to

aolserver.sourceforge.net

Notice Sourceforge has added now aolserver (proyect name) to their public cvs
