To: freebsd-cvsweb@freebsd.org Message-id: <01KKP19SBHES000BQB@tmk.com> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-cvsweb@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm trying to upgrade from the original cvsweb 1.0 to 2.0.5, but I'm having a silly problem when trying to view a revision or use the "download" option - I get "Error: Unexpected output from cvs co: cvs checkout: Sorry, you don't have read/write access to the history file cvs [checkout aborted]: /foo/CVS/CVSROOT/history: Permission denied". Oddly enough, all the diff commands work and I can view the entire revision that way. This worked with cvsweb 1.0, and it obviously works when using other cvsweb URLs on the net - for example, the cvsweb project itself, at: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/projects/cvsweb/ The platform is BSD/OS 4.3, cvsweb is running as www.www, and the CVS repository is owned by another user, but is all at least 755/644 for files and directories. I really don't want to make the CVS repository writable by the cvsweb user. I'm oviously missing something obvious, but I've been banging my head on this for hours and haven't gotten anywhere, so I'm resorting to asking the list.
