Hi, I have set up rancid and tested it, it works, it has retrieved configs
from the devices is was supposed to ( cisco switches and routers) - i have
checked and there is information in the <switch_name>.new and i wanted to
set-up cvsweb as I am very poorly skilled at cvs.
I finally was able to init ( cvs -d /usr/local/rancid/var/netwoking/configs/
init) using
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch1_:_Network_Backups_With_Rancidto
set up the rest.

After a few

 No valid CVS roots found! See @CVSrepositories in the
>>> configuration file (/etc/cvsweb/cvsweb.conf).

I have a nice list of my devices. However, when i want to see the config
(download/view as text/) or anything there is nothing but a blank page.

my cvsweb.conf is

@CVSrepositories = (
        'local'   => ['Local Repository',
'/usr/local/rancid/var/CVS/networking/configs/'],

and rancid.conf

BASEDIR=/usr/local/rancid/var; export BASEDIR
PATH=/usr/local/rancid/bin:/usr/bin:.:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin; export
PATH
# Location of the CVS/SVN repository.  Be careful changing this.
CVSROOT=$BASEDIR/CVS; export CVSROOT

changing cvsweb to point to /usr/local/rancid/var/CVS/CVSROOT does not
compute .... i am pretty sure i messed up soething with the paths, but i
don't fully understand cvs system :( i know i should spend more time reading
and understanding fully but :) can we overlook this minor thing ?

TIA,
