webaplications with cvs

[Carramba]

hi!

Iam  trying to set up a cvs server for php apliction, instaliation went ok.
my question is
how do I set up envaremet in cs so that files I work with is in www  
(document root for apache) directory,
since they are executet and chaget on day bases.
do I set up repository for same dir? or I move file copys with chechout?
I have done folowing

CVSROOT=/usr/local/CVSROOT
export CVSROOT

then I hit

cvs import -m "imported files" /usr/local/www/ yoyo start
and I get error
cvs [import aborted]: directory /usr/local/www/ not relative within the  
repository

I se that some configuration is wrong but how do I fix this?

Thanx in advance
