CVS Update on cPanel or SSH

[nhdonny]

I'm not interested in hosting CVS.

I use CVS Update to keep my Moodle install up to date. I know how to set it up on my windows(xampp apache) server but am clueless :p as to how I set this up on my new VPS.

thanks

If anything this should be easier to do on linux. Just ssh in and run cvs update (assuming you have setup CVSROOT and perhaps CVS_RSH and CVSIGNORE environment variables already).

Setup a cron job is you want this done automatically.

Charles, I love your assumptions :rolleyes:

No I have not and don't know how to setup CVSROOT CVS_RSH and CVSIGNORE. That's why I'm asking for help.

I think its a very reasonable assumption when you say you have been using cvs to keep moodle updated today.

Try this

Sorry Charles. Didn't mean to sound mean. I really appreciate your help.

I've been using Tortoise CVS on a win server running xampp/apache. All cvs is done using windows explorer.

Never thought to look at Moodle cvs for Unix.

Thanks Charles, you owe me a slap upside the head.

All the concepts are the same and the config info you had to provide to tortoise is the same info needed on linux - just specified in environment variables instead.
