Use of uninitialized value in exec at /usr/local/www/cgi- bin/cvsweb.cgi line 2481. Use of uninitialized value in exec at /usr/local/www/cgi- bin/cvsweb.cgi line 2481. Can't exec "": No such file or directory at /usr/local/www/cgi- bin/cvsweb.cgi line 2481. NOTE: I'm on cvsweb-3.0.5_1 (was on 2 at the start of this exercise). The 2481 line is : exec(@cmd, @files) or exit -1; I have done a "chmod -R www" on the repo directory. That's more rights than the rest of the website. If I print anything out before line 2481, I get to see this on the webpage: NOTE: There are 19 files, but none matches the current tag.
