  khj I can't get the 'viewcvs' package to work.

Sorry for the followup to my own posting ...

But I wanted to record the solution:  the NFS dir had permissions that
were too restrictive for 'apache' to access!  I *thought* I had
checked all relevant dirs, but obviously missed one ...

ViewCVS w/ NFS-Mounted Repository

2005-09-27 Thread Kenneth Jacker 
[sarge]

I can't get the 'viewcvs' package to work.  I *think* I properly
edited the configuration file (only changed the cvs_roots option).

The repository is in an NFS-mounted directory on another machine.

Though I can see the documentation page (localhost/viewcvs) and can
use file:// to view the contents of the repository with 'firefox',
using localhost/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ always gives me an error page
containing:

   An Exception Has Occurred

   cvs not found!
   The wrong path for this repository was configured, or ...

   Python traceback deleted.


Another data point:  if I use the default /var/lib/cvs, it works
fine.  The problem is getting the same functionality on the NFS-
mounted repository ...


Unrelated questions: what does the viewcvs-query package provide?

Thanks for any ideas!
