[viewvc-users] Rancid / CVS / ViewVC

Ok, I'm new to ViewVC and even the Linux OS.

Trying to set up Rancid, got most of it working except the website ( http://localhost/viewvc ).

I get the following error...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/viewvc-1.1.15/lib/viewvc.py", line 4638, in main
    request.run_viewvc()
  File "/usr/local/viewvc-1.1.15/lib/viewvc.py", line 394, in run_viewvc
    self.view_func(self)
  File "/usr/local/viewvc-1.1.15/lib/viewvc.py", line 2140, in view_directory
    file_data, options)
  File "/usr/local/viewvc-1.1.15/lib/vclib/ccvs/bincvs.py", line 261, in dirlogs
    alltags = _get_logs(self, path_parts, entries_to_fetch, rev, subdirs)
  File "/usr/local/viewvc-1.1.15/lib/vclib/ccvs/bincvs.py", line 1020, in _get_logs
    % file.path)
Error: Rlog output ended early. Expected RCS file "/usr/local/rancid/var/CVS/xxxxxx/router.db,v"

This appears to be a pretty common issue, but I've not found anyone posting an actual solution.

Info that might be needed...

ViewVC.conf

#cvs_roots = cvs:
root_parents = /usr/local/rancid/var/CVS: cvs
rcs_dir = /usr/local/bin/
address = <a href=mailto:[email protected]>Me</a>
use_enscript = 1
enscript_path = /usr/bin/
use_highlight = 1
highlight_path = /usr/bin/
*Everything else is default*

rcs_dir is correct.
root parents contains a CVSROOT folder & the created folder for the group.

[rancid@localhost CVS]$ ls -al

group folder contain and and the config folder and the router.db,v file.

configs folder has about 1000 files in it ( ending in ,v )
examples...

drwxrwxr-x. 2 rancid netadm   4096 Sep 12 07:20 Attic

apache is also part of the netadm group..

I've seem a random note that apache might need execute rights on the ",v" files.
Is that correct ?

Anyway, sorry for long chain. I've seen people post questions and not provide any data to help diagnose it.

Thanks for looking,

Marcus
