Hello, I'm not sure if I'm asking the right group of people for help but I = haven't found any discussion boards (newsgroups) to get help with my = problem. I'm having trouble getting cvsweb to run. Everything is set up properly = (CVSROOT, .conf file, the path to rm, rlog, etc...) but I keep on = getting this error Error: Failed to spawn GNU rlog on "all my file names in cvs" Did you set the $command_path in your configuration file correctly ? = (Currently "/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin"=20 I am able to run rlog from the command line but I can't get it to run in = the cvsweb.cgi script. The web server that I'm running is Apache, I'm not sure which modules = are running, my Perl version is 5.0.8 using mod_perl 2=20 I can properly browse through the directories in my cvs repository but I = can't see the file names themselfs. I configured cvs to use a lock dir = that is r/w to everyone, (I initially though that this was the problem) = but with no luck. If anyone could give me a little help on how to = troubleshoot my cvsweb installation, I would greatly appreciate it. (I'm new to installing cvs and running scripts on web server like = cvsweb) I have followed the directions on how to install it and do not = know where to look to make this work. Could my web server prevent me from running the exec command from a cgi = script? cvsweb does use perl -T (for taint) which should allow me to = run system or exec commands (to the best of my knowledge which might = not be much...) but is that enough? Do I need something like = Apache::Subprocess to run the exec command from the cgi script? does = mod_perl need something special to run the exec command? If so, how would I do this and how would I check if I lack something in = my installation to prevent me from running external programs with exec? Thanks in advance. Yves
