Hm, the subject says Linux but it's actually FreeBSD you're working
with? CVSweb is in the FreeBSD ports collection, maybe it'd be easier
to install it that way.

Just ignore it, it's an example configuration snippet primarily meant
for use by cvsweb.freebsd.org or a local FreeBSD CVS mirror.

That's most likely the configuration directory of your Apache, not the
CGI script dir. The correct dir is usually called "cgi-bin", in your
case maybe /home/apache/cgi-bin. Check your httpd.conf.

$mydir is the directory where cvsweb.cgi is located. I would suggest
putting cvsweb.conf it somewhere else though, check the other places
near "$mydir/cvsweb.conf" where it's looked from.

Any other messages in the Apache error log? Does the user running the
web server have execute permission to cvsweb.cgi and read access to
cvsweb.conf?

Do a "perl -wTc cvsweb.cgi", -T should work with CVSweb 2.0.6 and Perl
5.6.1, there are known problems with 5.8.0 and later which have been
fixed in the CVSweb beta versions.
