[rancid] Re: Install Rancid for Gentoo

You will also need to make sure you tell apache where the web-interface is.

Here's my example, using name-based virtual hosts in Apache.

ex>

########## VIRTUAL HOST CONFIG FOR ViewCVS ##########
#####################################################
#####################################################
################# cmoody 11.21.05 ###################
<VirtualHost *:443>
         ServerAdmin <insert your e-mail here>
         DocumentRoot /var/www/localhost/viewcvs/
         ServerName <dns-name for vhost goes here>
         UseCanonicalName Off
         ScriptAlias /config /var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi
         <Directory "/var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/viewcvs/">
             AllowOverride AuthConfig
             Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
             Order allow,deny
             Allow from all
         </Directory>
         <Directory "/var/www/localhost/viewcvs/">
             AllowOverride AuthConfig
             Options Indexes MultiViews ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
             Options MultiViews ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
             Order allow,deny
             Allow from all
         </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
