Hi, I hope this is the right place to be posting questions about
cvsweb-nt:  I have a cvs-nt server (1.11.1.2 (Build 41)) running on one
machine (A) and cvsweb-nt (1.93.2.2) running on another machine (B)
within the same domain.  Does anyone know of any reason why this setup
may not work?

I've set up %CVSROOT on B in the .conf file with the path to the cvs
repo on A as:
 'Dev' => '//A/dev'

where dev is a share for which I (currently) have 'change' permissions.

What's happening is that I can get a directory list of the top level of
'Dev' (currently containing only the CVSROOT dir) but if I click on the
CVSROOT link I get a 'failed to spawn GNU rlog on .....' message
despite having rlog in the path (both system and in the conf file) and
permission to execute it.  In fact, the rlog process never even starts!


I have noticed that the path to each file in the directory, given in
the error message, contains a extra slash after the CVSROOT directory
(e.g. "//A/dev/CVSROOT//cvswrappers,v").  But I've tried executing rlog
from the command line, from the same account as IIS is running, using
the files listed in the error message without any problems.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Dave
