Yep, permissions issue indeed. I assume you're running FreeBSD-CVSweb 2.0.6, the following guesswork is based on that. Some things to check: Does the web server user have read and execute access to the /var/www/cgi-bin directory? If not, is it acceptable to add read access there? If you don't want to add read access, try adding "chdir('/some/where/with/read/and/exec/perms');" into the beginning of cvsweb.cgi and see if it helps. I committed a similarish fix to the development branch last weekend. Let me know (via replying to this list) if the above works for you or not. > I'm sorry if this is posted to the wrong list. (if it > is, can someone let me know where I should post it) No prob, this is the correct place.
