You should try the ViewCvs newsserver instead, because I have no info or knowledge concerning the actual working of ViewCvs. I just did the installer so that I could get it running hassle-free on my servers and shared it... Check here for a newsgroup: Server: news.gmane.org Group: gmane.comp.version-control.cvs.viewcvs.user or try signing up for the maillist here: http://mailman.lyra.org/mailman/listinfo/viewcvs They usually are quite responsive and helpful, especially if you include the traceback as you have. /Bo On Tue, 26 Apr 2005 14:00:44 +0200, "Florent GILAIN" <florent.gilain at direct-energie.com> wrote: > Bo, > >I used your installer found at : >http://web.telia.com/~u86216121/ViewCvsSetup.html to install ViewCVS on my >new Windows 2000 Server Box (using IIS5.0 and a working CVSNT 2.0.41 server >on it). > >I first tested my CVSNT server and all is ok. >I then installed Active State Python "ActivePython-2.4.1-245-win32-ix86.msi" >and rebooted my server >I then used your installer to setup the Viewcvs programs > >Now, when i go to http://myserver/ViewCvs/viewcvs.cgi, i get the following >error message : > >=============================== >An Exception Has Occurred > >oscar not found! >The wrong path for this repository was configured, or the server on which >the CVS tree lives may be down.
