Public CVS - Connection Refused

Squiz Matrix General Discussion
1

Hi Everyone,


After hearing the news about Mysource Matrix 4.0 I thought to give it a go on our test environment. But I am getting an issue whenever I try and get the release through the CVS. What I get when I run the checkout.sh script is “Connect Failed: connection refused” or the equivalent “No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it”. I am wondering if there might be an issue on my side as we are running a proxy service prior to connecting to the interenet, or if there is something that I am missing. I am following the general instructions located here - matrix cvs.



Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks,

DanielT.

It’s working ok here. If you do:

    
    cvs -d :pserver:anonymous:@public-cvs.squiz.net:/home/public/core checkout mysource_matrix


does it work? (pserver runs on port 2401 - default for pserver).

Do you have access to any non-proxied machines to attempt it?

Hi Chris,

Unfortunately it fails for me still, I was presuming that it was a proxy issue with our connection here. I will have to attempt it when I get home and see what happens from there.

Thanks for the input.

I got someone from outside our network to try and it worked. I still suspect firewall or proxy issues but let us know how it goes.

I have had it work on a few different servers, none of which had a proxy.

Thanks for the overal confirmation that it is the proxy here that is causing the problem. As I said, I'll give it a go from home, which should work with no problems, and then go from there.



Thanks again,
