[rancid] Re: Viewvc problem, Might just be me playing dumb

Todd:

I'm having a similar issue. I'm moving rancid from a Mandrake server  
to a Fedora Core 7 server. I've got rancid working fine, but before I  
was using cvsweb. Now I want to use viewvc on the new server but I  
guess I have the same permission problem. What permissions should I  
check and on what directory?

When I open on the browser vewvc.cgi I don't get any page and only  
see the following in apache's log:

[Mon Jul 09 10:51:16 2007] [error] [client 192.168.60.101] Traceback  
(most recent call last):

local/rancid/var/CVS' in 'root_parents' does not refer to a valid  
directory.
[Mon Jul 09 10:51:16 2007] [error] [client 192.168.60.101] Premature  
end of script headers: viewvc.cgi

I've got the following in viewvc.conf

cvs_roots = cvs: /usr/local/rancid/var/CVS
root_parents = /usr/local/rancid/var/CVS : cvs

But It's the first time I use viewvc.

Thanks,
