Setting Up a CVS server on CentOS

Setting up a CVS server
Just now I had finished setting up CVS server on a CentOS
The steps which I followed is

Step 1
chose the location where I want to have the repo
I wanted to kept it as /usr/local/CVSREPO for this purpose I did
mkdir /usr/local/CVSREPO

Step 2
create system user and group named as “cvsuser”

Step 3
create the repository needed
cvs -d /usr/local/CVSREPO/StudentAdmin init
cvs -d /usr/local/CVSREPO/AccountAdmin init

Step 4
Change owner and group of repository and all files to “cvsuser”
chown cvsuser.cvsuser -R /usr/local/CVSREPO/

Step 5
check whether tcp service is there in /etc/services , U should find a entry simillar to
cvspserver 2401/tcp # CVS client/server operations
cvspserver 2401/udp # CVS client/server operations

Step 6
Now we need to create an entry for the xinet.d . For this I
create a file name “cvpspserver” in /etx/xinet.d
with contents
service cvspserver
{
port = 2401
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
user = root
wait = no
type = UNLISTED
server = /usr/bin/cvs
server_args = -f --allow-root=/usr/local/CVSREPO/StudentAdmin --allow-root=/usr/local/CVSREPO/AccountAdmin pserver
disable = no
}

Step 7
For giving user permissions
create a file name “passwd” in
/usr/local/CVSREPO/StudentAdmin/CVSROOT and
/usr/local/CVSREPO/AccountAdmin/CVSROOT .
“passwd file format is
username:encryptedpassword:cvsuser
for making creating encrypted password I used a downloaded perl script
I created encrypted password using the downloaded script and copied the encrypted password to the newly created passwd

Step 8
restarted xinted service

Step 9
checked from the client using cvs login

Problem solved:- INSERT data to the table using hibernate

Problem solved:- INSERT data to the table using hibernate

I was fortunate to solve the problem I faced in inserting the data to the table using hibernate
I have been trying out for a long time .
Yesterday I thought I will start from scratch . I took the eg tutorial from roseindia (http://www.roseindia.net/hibernate/incrementgenerator.shtml )
I selected this example to try out auto increment for primary key and insert key
I was getting the error .
“Could not find UserTransaction in JNDI “
I searched was not able to find the solution . Today morning I remembered vague about Niyas explanation some time back about the changes which we have to do in “hibernate.cfg.xml” for JDBC . I tried to solve it and was success
the changes which I had done I had cut and pasted for my future reference


Error Could not find user Transaction in JNDI

Sol:-
Modified "hibernate.cfg.xml" file
I had cut and pasted it for reference






Now I am able to insert the data into this table . I understood the way auto increment work

Work Flow to start

I need to setup a work flow for their sales dept for a manufacturing company
after getting feedback from them
I have this point in my mind
two cases here
# one for existing profile . (Design )
# One for new profile (design )

For existing profile
# Customers inquire :- This enquiry can be converted to sales order
# Sales dept response by sending the fax (PO)
# Customer response by resending the fax
# based on the above result , it is send to the production dept
# materials produced and dispatched after getting the payment

ZM How I am solving it ?

Was the ZM installation or the Pansonic WV-NP244 had problems ?
I am investigation
The problem was that after giving the correct path "/cgi-bin/jpeg?connect=start"
also I was not able to see the images .

After struggling for some time . I thought I will try step by step

I had this doubt of ffmpeg . I installed ffmpeg , re-installed ZM using ffmpeg option
I followed the following ways
1> First I tried to view a static image , copied a jpeg image , gave the path in the monitor section . checked it I can see it
2> Then I selected network as source , gave the path of the file . checked it I can see it

3> Now I am trying to see test.mpg file . which I am not able to see it in (a) network as source (b) file as source
after giving the path

What I concluded from the above steps is that . If I can see the image file using network and file source . I have not made any mistake in giving the path
Now I have to find the reason why it is not showing when using .mpg files

Have to find it ?

ffmpeg for ZM

Today i had tough time installing ZM with ffmpeg , I was using CentOS

At frist I installed the default system "ffmpeg" and then I went to intsall zm , while installing zone minder I was getting this error
zm_mpeg.cpp:281: error: cannot convert �ByteIOContext� to �ByteIOContext*� for argument �1� to �int url_fclose(ByteIOContext*)�

After searching the forum . I found that I need to install the latest ffmpeg
Uninsatalled the system "ffmpeg"
downloaded latest source by using
"svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg "
installed ffmpeg , but for ZM again problem
I faced problems Like

zm_mpeg.h:29:29: error: ffmpeg/avformat.h: No such file or directory
zm_mpeg.h:31:28: error: ffmpeg/swscale.h: No such file or director


Did so many things like copying files here and there , I think I nearly made a mess of my installation . then I happened to see the link which save me

"http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12151&highlight=ffmpeg+avformat"

Followed it step by step and it ZM got installed
