Nitin,

The error you see is due to having viewvc.conf configuration options in
the Apache httpd.conf.  These are two separate configuration systems for
two separate bits of software, and live in two different distinct
configuration files.

These lines:

### viewvc sample configuration
#cvs_roots = cvs :/var/cvs/cvsroot
root_parents = /var/cvs/cvsroot : cvs
default_root = cvs

...belong in viewvc.conf.

The others (the ScriptAlias lines) are for Apache httpd, and belong in
httpd.conf (where you already have them).
