Bertrand, do you have a cvs server process set up? It sounds like you need to get that going first.

A CVSROOT typically looks something like :pserver:username@example.com:/pathtocvsroot

Hello,
I have some difficulty to work with zend and cvs.
so i have 2 directorys. “toto2″ is my cvs root and “toto my working dir. the both directory are in my zend project.
When i use checkout (i can use only this) I have
CVSROOT: No such file or directory
cvs command finished with exit code 1.
Can you help me ?

Alright, I’m not sure to the rest of your setup but…

If you’re looking to run cvs diff on files locally, you must have a CVS server somewhere running locally. I can’t really help you with that, as I am inexperienced w/ setting up the server. But judging that your cvsroot and target directories are the same, I’m guessing you don’t have that working correctly.

An alternative to running cvs diff if you just want to diff two different files is to install something like cygwin, which has a bunch of unix utilities. One of those utilities is the diff command, though it’s not nearly as easy to use as the Zend CVS diff. Really though, they’re apples to oranges.

So, assuming you’ve now gone and set up a cvs server correctly and have your bases covered on having a server working, I
think I understand what you’re doing wrong. You’re opening a project and then running cvs checkout. Checkout the files you’re looking to use, *and then* be sure to “Add to Project” the files in the directory you just checked out. Henceforth, you open that project and can use all cvs commands from the project tab on the File Manager pane on the left.

Dear Tor,

Here’s the simulation.

1. File > Open Project (then it opens the new project with
one sample php file in it) coming from a different folder
2. revised the sample php file
3. tools > checkout
CVS Root = :local:c:/src/
Module name = test
Working directory = C:\src\

CVS output states” C:\Program Files\Zend\bin\cvs.exe -d :local:c:/src/ checkout test
cvs.exe checkout: Updating test

cvs command finished with exit code 0″

4. then it created 3 files named entries, repository, root under c: \src\test\CVS\

5. i still have greyed out CVS functions.

TOR, your help is very valuable to me. Thanks in advance.

NOTES:
1. i did these simulations using the cederqvist cvs manual.
2. i just want to start using the CVS DIFF on my localhost under windowsxp (reason is to compare revisions done by one person (me) to understand ZEND CVS before working on a new set of scripts in a live site).
3. ZEND help function on CVS portion is limited.
4. please help step-by-step if possible
5. is it something to do w cvs root name/module name?

You have to add the checked out files to a new Zend project. Have you done that?
