RE: [viewvc-dev] Issue with viewvc finding repository

The rcs_path was something legacy from our old system that I don't think we even use anymore, but I included it anyways.

I think the only thing we use cygwin for these days is some rsh remote executing.  

D:\cvsrepo\it\CVSROOT\config does indeed exist.  I have 3 repos.  IT/Prod/Test   all of which reside under the repo root CVSREPO. (D:\cvsrepo\prod,D:\cvsrepo\test).

However, config under cvsrepo\it\CVSROOT\ has everything commented out it looks like(which is the same as it is on the server I'm moving from)... so that can't be it?

I'm assuming that IT/Prod/Test are all repos themselves, because they are defined in the CVSNT control panel as repos, and D:\cvsroot isn't, nor does it have a CVSROOT in it (but all 3 of those repos do).  
  

=======================================
Hrm.  That "cvsnt_exe_path" is set to a non-empty value means that "rcs_path" is ignored.  Though, if "rcs_path" was *not* ignored, I don't see how it would work anyway.  (Is IIS somehow smart enough to invoke ViewVC "under Cygwin"?)

But more troublesome to me is the fact that you aren't at least seeing your top-level CVS repository directories.  If I'm not mistaken, ViewVC is going to be looking for a file at the path "D:\cvsrepo\it\CVSROOT\config".  Does that path exist?  Is "D:\cvsrepo\it" a CVS repository, or is it a module inside the CVS repository located at "D:\cvsrepo" ?
