[viewvc-dev] Issue with viewvc finding repository

I have viewvc deployed with Python24 and IIS6.0 using CVSNT as my
repository.

 

My repos are deployed, I can check in and check out, as well as export,
but for the life of me I can't get viewvc(or viewcvs) to see the
repositories.  I changed 

the config file to point to the proper places, but all I get is the
following error..


http://ntitcvs2/viewvc/viewvc.cgi/?root=it


"An Exception Has Occurred


it not found! The wrong path for this repository was configured, or the
server on which the CVS tree lives may be down. Please try again in a
few minutes.

"

 

 

Pasted below is the repo config..  let me know if I should paste the
whole config.  I'm using cygwin for some parts, so that's why /usr/bin
is referenced below for rcs.

 

Cheers,

-Derek

 

cvs_roots = test: D:\cvsrepo\test,

            prod: D:\cvsrepo\prod,

            it:   D:\cvsrepo\it

 

#

# This setting specifies each of the Subversion roots (repositories)

# on your system and assigns names to them. Each root should be given

# by a "name: path" value. Multiple roots should be separated by

# commas and can be placed on separate lines.

#

#svn_roots = svn: /home/svnrepos

 

# The 'root_parents' setting specifies a list of directories in which

# any number of repositories may reside.  Rather than force you to add

# a new entry to 'cvs_roots' or 'svn_roots' each time you create a new

# repository, ViewVC rewards you for organising all your repositories

# under a few parent directories by allowing you to simply specifiy

# just those parent directories.  ViewVC will then notice each

# repository in that directory as a new root whose name is the

# subdirectory of the parent path in which that repository lives.

#

# You can specify multiple parent paths separated by commas or new
lines.

#

# Caution: these names can, of course, clash with names you have

# defined in your cvs_roots or svn_roots configuration items.  If this

# occurs, you can either rename the offending repository on disk, or

# grant new names to the clashing item in cvs_roots or svn_roots.

# Each parent path is processed sequentially, so repositories under

# later parent paths may override earlier ones.

#

#root_parents = /home/svn-repositories : svn,

#               /home/cvs-repositories : cvs

 

# this is the name of the default root

# (ignored when root_as_url_component is turned on)

#default_root = it

 

# uncomment if the RCS binaries are not on the standard path

rcs_path = /usr/bin/

 

# ViewVC can use CVSNT (www.cvsnt.org) instead of the RCS 

# utilities to retrieve information from CVS repositories.

# To enable use of CVSNT, set the "cvsnt_exe_path" value

# to the path of the CVSNT executable. (If CVSNT is on the

# standard path, you can also set it to the name of the

# CVSNT executable). By default "cvsnt_exe_path" is set to

# "cvs" on Windows and is not set on other platforms.

#

#cvsnt_exe_path =

#cvsnt_exe_path = cvs

#cvsnt_exe_path = K:\Program Files\cvsnt\cvs.exe

#cvsnt_exe_path = /usr/bin/cvs

cvsnt_exe_path = D:\cvsnt\cvs.exe
