RE: Moved to a new Subversion server....

Did you upgrade Apache too? /var/www/html is the default DocumentRoot for Apache 2.0 while /use/local/apach2/htdocs is the default for Apache 2.2. If you have, there might be other differences in the configuriation that makes your ViewVC not to work.

I asked about the symlink because the error that I keep seeing in the error log file is:
[Tue Sep 01 07:30:40 2009] [error] [client 20.6.191.231] File does not exist: /var/www/html/viewvc

This whole viewvc configuration is confusing to me.
/var/www/html is what my DocumentRoot is configured to. I set it to that because on my old svn server the viewvc config file had its DocumentRoot set there.
I wonder if I create a symlink, similar to yours, if that would resolve my issue and make my viewvc work.

The svnstat directory is the one that contains the statistics created by SVNStat, or maybe it was StatSVN. They are still there but we don't really use them.

You mean the sym link to viewvc-1.1.1? Well, I didn't read it anywhere. I just thought that if I had configured apache to work with a sym-link then I wouldn't have to change any configuration if I upgrade ViewVC. Or if I want to have two versions of it I just need to change the link and not the configuration.

Giulio,

       Thank you.
       What is that svnstat directory that is under /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/?
       How did you know to create that symbolic link?

RE: Moved to a new Subversion server....

Sorry for top posting (Outlook here)

Here my configurations that work for me. I'm using Apache 2.2.11, Subversion 1.6.4 and ViewVC 1.1.1

DocumentRoot "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs"
ScriptAlias /viewvc "/usr/local/viewvc/bin/cgi/viewvc.cgi"
<Directory "/usr/local/viewvc/bin/cgi/viewvc.cgi">
 AllowOverride None
 Options None
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all
</Directory>

The htdocs directory has only an index.html page

ln1sub01 root> ls -l /usr/local/apache2/htdocs
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 485 Aug 20 11:58 index.html
drwxrwxr-x 6 svnstat svn 4096 Aug 20 12:03 statsvn
/usr/local/viewvc is a link to /usr/local/viewvc-1.1.1 which is where I installed ViewVC 1.1.1

ln1sub01 root> ls -l /usr/local/
total 108
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jun 18 15:27 viewvc -> viewvc-1.1.1
drwxr-xr-x 6 svn svn 4096 Aug 19 16:30 viewvc-1.1.1
It works pretty well for me.

I have attempted to set the Script Alias to various paths;
ScriptAlias /viewvc "/var/www/cgi-bin/"
ScriptAlias /viewvc /var/www/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi
and
ScriptAlias /viewvc /usr/local/viewvc-1.0.7/bin/cgi/viewvc.cgi

and I still get the same message in the error log:
[Mon Aug 31 14:49:01 2009] [error] [client 20.8.230.132] File does not exist: /var/www/html/viewvc

Why is it looking under /var/www/html?
Is the file, viewvc, that the error references the same as viewvc.cgi? If so why does it not include the .cgi suffix in the error message?

Does anyone have an httpd.conf file example, with viewvc configured, that I can take a look at?
