Check with

which rlog

if rlog is in on of the paths in @command_path and check its
permissions.

If you are running Perl 5.10: There is a bug in Perl (fixed after the
5.10 release), that prevents the -x test in the search_path() function
in the cvsweb CGI script to run properly. The problem can be easily
verified by turning on debugging. There your webserver-log will show
something like

Can't exec "" ...

as error even if rlog exists in one of the paths in @command_path. Use
the following patch to fix it temporarily:

http://svn.wgdd.de/websvn/wsvn/packages/cvsweb/trunk/debian/patches/10_483442_fix_perl_510_test_failure.dpatch?op=file&rev=0&sc=0
