Hi,

I've just compiled Fossil under Solaris.
Just some minor warnings.
Everything works like advertised, but I'm getting "server says: server loop" when trying to sync. Went thru documentation, but couldn't find the reason. Ady idea?

Regards,

Krzysztof

So you have a repsoitory on the Solaris box. Was it new or a clone? And which repository are you trying to sync with.

Actually, it might be a good idea if you attached your fossil command lines so we can see how you might have got to that message.

Hi,

Set up was as follows:
1. Compiling the source
2. Creating new repository [fossil new test]
3. Have opened a new process with [fossil server test] and initially set it up. 
4. I've created a folder : [files] containing some test files a b c d
5. I've opened repository [fossil open test]
6. Added the files: [fossil add a ](and so on for the rest of the test files)
7. I've checked them in [fossil ci]
8. I'm getting the error message when trying to sync, pull or push.
error (warning?) is : server says: server loop.

I can work with repository locally, without using web to review it, but sync over http is sooo tempting :)

best regards,

Krzysztof
 
BTW. Great piece of software.

Hello Krzysztof,

excuse my stupidity, but are you saying you try to sync/pull/push that very local repository with itself? If this is so, what do you expect from that action?

Try this setting:

  1  with a running <code>fossil server</code> on your repository <code>test</code> ...
  2  Goto another directory that does not contain you repository <code>test</code>
  3  Execute <code>fossil clone <your URL here> cloned_test</code>

Now you may sync/pull/push between <code>test</code> and <code>cloned_test</code> as you deem joyful :-)

Ciao,
chin.

Sorry for my ignorance :)
I was obviously trying to do the impossible.
It works great.

best regards to you all.
