I have used concurrent versioning system before, understand what it does and what it is for, but I am fairly new to what goes on to get it started and setting it up. I need to use CVS with Studio on a Windows 2000 platform. I have searched through some of the previous comments in this forum, installed CVSNT, and somewhat accomplished the steps to set up a repository. I have completed the process up to creating a folder in the C:\ drive and obtaining the CVSROOT directory. I have also succeeded in viewing various files within the CVSROOT directory, adding the default list into the cvswrappers.txt file, and committing the changes. I would like to use the â¿¿extâ¿¿ protocol for security reasons and am not familiar with what process I need to take to do so although, I have found numerous of steps on setting up the pserver protocol. I am running into problems in Studio when filling in the fields for â¿¿Adding a Repositoryâ¿¿ at the CVS repositories view.
The following is the error that I receive once I try to add the repository.
[i:474a39e1eb]Unable to Validate
Error validation location: "I/0 exception occured: Error starting external connection program: ssh. Ensure that the path is correct and that you can connect manually using this program."[/i:474a39e1eb]
I am not positive that I am taking the best approach by directing my attention to this area in Studio or if there are steps that I have missed in order to proceed with the repositories view and â¿¿Add a Repositoryâ¿¿ in Studio.
Also is there any further steps that need to be taken after checking out the CVSROOT directory to further accomplish setting up a directory that would be helpful as well.
If anyone can further assist me on this issue, please do so.
Thanks in Advance!

Danielle,
The error messages you are getting are not Studio specific, they are related to CVS setup in general.
Setting CVS repository, or any other source control system, is a complex task and in most cases very specific to each company. I would suggest asking your internal IT team for advise hoe to set up correctly. You could also browse the Internet on examples how to set up CVS with Eclipse.
We have tested and used CVS without any problems with Audium Studio or Eclipse and you should be able to set up as well.
Regards,
Michael
