Re: [viewvc-dev] CVS with ViewVC config error

Correct!  /etc/httpd/conf.d/viewvc.conf is still technically httpd
configuration -- specifically, that part of the httpd configuration
which is responsible for making ViewVC available at all. 
/etc/viewvc/viewvc.conf governs how ViewVC behaves once it is running.

Glad you found the solution!
