I happened to upgrade to 1.11.9 also on my dev box a couple of days ago and noticed this and put a clarification into cvsweb.conf: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/projects/cvsweb/cvsweb.conf.diff?r1=1.62&r2=1.63&f=h > > Additionally, I've committed some error handling and error message > > improvements to CVS HEAD after 2.9.1, could you try if it works better? > > I may give it a try. Remove -l from @cvs_options in cvsweb.conf and it should work. You may also need to tweak CVSROOT/history permissions or configure cvs not to do history logging for read operations, see the above diff hunk for more info. I also assume that the recent error handling changes in CVS HEAD would have produced a better error message also under mod_perl (need to verify this though).
