Hello, sorry for this long post:
I have problems with ViewCVS for SVN on Windows.
As someone said in a thread "Well, setting up ViewCVS for subversion was so
simple it's self-explanatory.", there must be someone who can explain it to
me (and everybody else who has problems).
BTW: I never used Python, Apache and ViewCVS. But I installed Python 2.3,
Apache 2 and got the newest ViewCVS source. I'm new to these things, but at
least I got the subversion server to work with Apache.
Now I´m trying to use ViewCVS, and have some questions. Should I change
apache cgi-bin to the ViewCVS dir? Or copy the .cgi files to the apache
cgi-bin? At least I have to somehow set up Apache to use python for the
viewcvs cgi files..but how? Best thing would be if Apache still could
execute perl cgi´s. And I´ve read something about bindings..?

Well, I don´t have any idea what bindings are, so I'm not surprised about
this fact. Is there anyone who would still try to explain it?
I set the svn paths in viewcvs.conf, but was not sure how to set them on
windows. Normal slashes? Backslashes? Beginning with file:/// ?
Currently it looks like this: svn_parent_path = d:/svn/
Then i created a new scriptalias "viewsvn" for Apache, pointing to
"C:/ViewCVS/www/cgi/viewcvs.cgi", but executing http://localhost/viewsvn/
gives an internal server error. Server log is:
Premature end of script headers: viewcvs.cgi
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/ViewCVS/www/cgi/viewcvs.cgi", line 56, in ?
import viewcvs
File "C:\ViewCVS\lib\viewcvs.py", line 63, in ?
import config
File "C:\ViewCVS\lib\config.py", line 212
self.options.cvsgraph_conf = os.path.join(r"C:\ViewCVS\", "cvsgraph.conf")
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I'm sure if Apache even calls Python here, as I didn't fill in any python
information into httpd.conf. Everything's complicated.. I could need a step
by step tutorial.
Hoping for an answer..
Steffen
