 Posted: Sat Feb 15, 2003 5:28 am Post subject: cvs: connection reset by peer |
 |
|
I am not sure this belongs here so I apologize if it doesn't
I have cvs on my linux computer and am trying to connect to it from my Windows computer. I keep getting the connection reset by peer error.
cvshome.org has a nice troubleshooting section when using pserver (which is what I am using). Says connection reset by peer... | Quote: | | typically indicate that inetd is listening for connections but is unable to start CVS (this is frequently caused by having an incorrect path in `inetd.conf'). |
.
I am using xinetd (well this is where csvpserver section is configured. by webmin?)
The path is correct and xinetd is running.
BTW kdevelop put files into the cvs repository so I am assuming cvs has been initialized correctly and the cvs executable can be found.
Doing a netstat -l shows that cvspserver is listening on port 2401.
I tried running telnet <my cvs server> 2401 but I get nothing. That is nothing appears on my screen. If I type anything I get back to the OS prompt without any messages.
I thought this might have something to do with my software firewall but I shut it down and it made no difference.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
Thanks

Same problem here, PLEASE mail me when you have the fix. I'm also watching this thread ....
It's frustrating being unable to get it started. www.xinetd.org told me to configure xinetd for cvs like this:
| Code: |
service cvspserver
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
port = 2401
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
passenv =
log_on_success = HOST PID
log_on_failure = HOST RECORD
server = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = --allow-root=/usr/cvs pserver -f
}

I love the GENTOO search engine 
it brought up this:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=30874&highlight=cvs+connection
simply edit your /etc/xinetd.conf and remove the line:
only_from = localhost
| Code: |
defaults
{
# only_from = localhost
instances = 60
log_type = SYSLOG authpriv info
log_on_success = HOST PID
log_on_failure = HOST
cps = 25 30
}
includedir /etc/xinetd.d
|
This will fix the problem.
