CVS on a webserver?

Hello,

I've installed CVS on my laptop, and there it works fine (both client and server app).

It makes more sense (for a multy user project) to run it on a server.
Does exist any implenetation in php or pearl, or can i use another implentation on a normal server (Vserver, normal hosting)?

What's when i have my own server (OS: unix or kind of)?

Maybe this question looks not very sophisticated, but i never used this kind of programm before, and i realised: It's SO useful!

You would need to install the CVS server app onto the machine.

There is no reason why you can't install an HTTP server (like Apache) and a CVS server on the same machine.

There are CVS binaries available for most OSs.

You will not be able to install and run a CVS server on a virtual hosting account.

There are Perl (and presumably PHP) apps which can connect to and query a CVS server but AFAIK there is no PHP or Perl alternative to CVS. I do remember seeing (some time ago) a PHP app which attempted to replicate basic CVS functionality but I can't remember what it was called.

Hello,

thank you!
For me its not a problem, because i need it now only for myself, and when i'll use it with other's i'll have a server.

If you already run Apache, FreeBSD's Web CVS (http://www.freebsd.org/projects/cvsweb.html) offers a great web-based CVS solution, which I use. However, it's written in CGI, not PHP.
