Any thoughts on why this is happening? @command_path affects only executables directly invoked by cvsweb. And cvsweb doesn't invoke diff directly [0], it invokes rcsdiff which then again uses internally whatever diff it considers appropriate. One thing to try: add this somewhere in your cvsweb.conf: $ENV{PATH} = '/home/www/apps/bin'; If rcsdiff uses $PATH, that could help. If not, it might have a compiled in path to the diff tool it's using. HTH... [0] By default, that is. One can configure different diff tools for different MIME types with %DIFF_COMMANDS in cvsweb.conf.
