cvs on a iis virtual directory

[Daniel]

hi newsgroup,

i would like to use cvs for a web application project. i don't need a
cvs server because i am working on my own.
i have tried this with tortoisecvs, but i was not able to use a virtual
directory for my sandbox or as repository.

any idea?

thanks in advance,
daniel

Hi Daniel,

I've only used TortoiseCVS with a CVS server (CVSNT available at
cvsnt.org). I have run CVSNT on a server and locally but I'm not sure
how to use TortoiseCVS without a server. Anyway, here's what I do to
configure my virtual directory.

I perform a CVS Checkout on the desired module. In this case it would
be on the web application. Once the files are in the sandbox, I
configure IIS with the appropriate virtual directory that points to my
sandbox. Make sure the virtual directory has the same name as used by
your solution and web project files. You can look in the web
project's .webinfo file for the expected URL.

Once the virtual directory has been configured in IIS, I can open the
web project in VS.NET and work with the source as needed. And I use
TortoiseCVS to do my updates and commits as needed. Note the IIS
configuration is only needed once, at the time the initial CVS
Checkout is performed.

Hope that helps.
