cvs obviously has a problem locating the approperiate CVSROOT structure
with the necessary control files. It should normally be located under
${CVSROOT}/CVSROOT/
Please check the cvs (1) manual and the init command;
<<
init - Initialize a repository by adding the CVSROOT sub-
directory and some default control files. You must
use this command or initialize the repository in
some other way before you can use it.
>>
I.e. $ cvs -d /files/www/data/source init
(You may omit -d if you set the CVSROOT variable).
