Hi,

yesterday it took me an hour to setup viewcvs on our subversion server.
Serverdata:
- Debian woody-xfs
- subversion 1.0X
- apache2

I installed viewcvs as described in the document.
(I believe something with the apache-conf was borked,
but was obvious and easy to fix)

Restarted apache, wich wouldn't run because of
"unknown python parameter"

Installed apache2-python-2.3
activated the module,
then apache was set to go.

Then I tried to edit the viewcvs.conf
Tried prettymuch every combination of root, parentpath, default_repos, you
get the picture,
until it dawned on me that I forgot to install the subversion-python binding
stuff.

another:
apt-get install python2.3-subversion

and, it worked.

Was not that hard,
if only I had thought about installing apache2-python and
python2.3-subversion in the first place.

Hope this helps a bit.
Else feel free to ask.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / With kind regards
