FW: [Anthill] Configuring AntHILL with CVS connected over VPN

Tue Jul 20 06:51:50 CDT 2004

Whew!
Finally found out. Currently the AnthillBuildDaemon in Tomcat is waiting for
the CVS checkout to complete. (Estimated to be 13-14 hours)

AntHILL was failing cause my CVS cmd line was failing.
(WinCVS worked because it did many things transparently)

For the benefit of all, I include the details below:

When I connect to CVS, the cmd fired is
	:ext:<username>@<serverName>:<path-to-cvs>

The :ext: launches my SSH client program, which cud be cgywin/ putty.
And that it did thru a CVS_RSH environment variable (which I had not setup)

The CVS_RSH env variable in my case, using putty/ plink.exe is:
   CVS_RSH=<path-to-SSH-client-executable > <cmd-line-params>
	<cmd-line-params> are what the program requires to establish the
connection

In AntHILL project config, I specified the appropriate 	
	1. anthill.repository.cvs.module
	2. anthill.repository.cvs.root 

and thru the web browser interface initiated a force-build.

Hi,

My environment is 
The remote CVS is on a Linux box in PA, USA.
While, we access it from India over VPN using a SSH client.

ANTHILL I have installed and configured in my local desktop.
(a Intel P4, running Win2K PRO + Tomcat4 + WinCVS + Putty)

I am connected to VPN when ANT HILL is executing but it fails to get remote
CVS content.
I can get remote CVS content manually thru WinCVS or Eclipse.
(it uses SSH)

I am investigating if I can get remote CVS content by issuing CVS commands
at the command prompt.

Any other thing I shud try?

Jeevan, 

Not a unix admin or anything but since the error seems not to like the SSH
client very much maybe consider using a different client.
Or, and I maybe wrong but it looks like anthill maybe be living on a Windows
Box?  So possibly connect via VPN to the Windows box with a VNC or remote
desktop connection to execute the Anthill build.

Hi,
I have downloaded Ant hill OS to have a look.
I have used ant hill before but transparently, this is the first time I am
trying to configure it.
In our development env. the CVS repository is geographically very far.
We connect to it over a VPN and using a SSH client (cygwin/ putty) we
download the code to our local machine to work on.

For this we use WinCVS as such I am not very much aware of cvs command-line
options too.

I setup a project in AntHill and tried a Force build on it.

It attempted contacting the CVS server but gave an exception which I am
unable to analyze.

Any clues? 

(I can understand the SendFailedException, It cud be because the network
admin has closed the SMTP tcp/ip port 25)
