Hi,

I've been trying to set up viewvc on an Ubuntu 12.04 box. I believe I 
have set everything up correctly but keep getting the error "Could not 
open the requested SVN filesystem" when I browse to /viewvc/viewvc.cgi 
for that machine. The Apache error logs show:

[Thu Jul 19 08:42:14 2012] [error] [client 192.168.6.44] (20014)Internal 
error: Can't open file '/usr/development/svn/viewvc.cgi/format': No such 
file or directory
[Thu Jul 19 08:42:14 2012] [error] [client 192.168.6.44] Could not fetch 
resource information.  [500, #0]
[Thu Jul 19 08:42:14 2012] [error] [client 192.168.6.44] Could not open 
the requested SVN filesystem  [500, #2]
[Thu Jul 19 08:42:14 2012] [error] [client 192.168.6.44] Could not open 
the requested SVN filesystem  [500, #2]

/usr/development/svn is the root_parents in my viewvc.conf file. What I 
don't understand is why it is even trying to open the listed file. It 
seems to be treating my root directory as if it were an SVN repository. 
This is obviously a configuration error on my part but I can't figure 
out what I've done wrong. Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks,
Lee
