No problem.  Hope your business went well.

Okay, that's why I asked:  you are seeing two very similar error messages,
but the repositories they mention are, in fact, different.  (You gotta be
precise in such matters ... it really does matter.)

> Would you become some configs from the installed viewvc or the WebDAV server which provide the Web-GUI?

Sorry ... having trouble making sense of "become" in this sentence.  Are you
asking if I want to see your configs, or asking me to provide you with
known-good examples?

I tell you what:  let's do some deeper debugging and try to get to the heart
of this matter.

The error you see comes from a call to db.FindRepository().  That function
is really just trying to locate a record in the MySQL database's
'repositories' table whose 'repository' column value matches the path of the
repository it is looking for.  So try this, if you will, filling in
${READONLY_USER}, ${READONLY_PASSWD, and ${DATABASE_NAME} from the settings
for those thing in the [cvsdb] section of your viewvc.conf:

{{{
$ mysql -u ${READONLY_USER} reader -p
Enter password: ${READONLY_PASSWD}

[...]

mysql> use ${DATABASE_NAME};
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Database changed
mysql> select * from repositories;
+----+------------------------------------+
| id | repository                         |
+----+------------------------------------+
|  2 | /usr/local/cvs/main                |
|  3 | /usr/local/cvs/ViewCVS             |
|  4 | /usr/local/cvs/querytest           |
| 13 | /home/cmpilato/tests/greek         |
| 14 | /usr/local/svn/svncorp             |
| 15 | /usr/local/svn/subversion          |
+----+------------------------------------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)

}}}

Here you can see the contents of my own database's 'repositories' table.
Nothing exciting, but if the path that ViewVC uses to talk about your
repositories doesn't match what's in that table, it raises the error that
you see.  Have you relocated your repositories recently, or are you
accessing them via a symlink or anything?
