subversion and viewcvs

hello

i'm trying to set up the viewcvs.cgi for a subversion repository and 
have a problem configuring the viewcvs.conf file.

the viewcvs.cgi script does indeed read my conf file, since i am able to 
browse my repository path via a web browser, however i am able to browse 
any path on my file system and furthermore only able to browse the 
directories [no files listed]


i have this:

###
cvs_roots =
   Development : /path/to/svnadmin_created/repository

default_root = Development



do i need to configure anything else apart from the conf file ?

thanks
./allan

It's the HEAD version in the ViewCVS repository.

bye,

Erik.

ahh, that certainly explains it - i wasn't aware of a specific 
subversion version of viewcvs. hmm, i wonder where i might find that one 
... or is it basically just a matter of changing a few subversion 
specific variables in the conf like the two you mention ?

thanks for the reply

If you're using a version of ViewCVS whose sample viewcvs.conf file
doesn't contain variables such as 'svn_roots' or 'svn_parent_path',
you're not using a version that supports Subversion.  If you *are*
using such a version, try reading the documentation (the INSTALL file,
the sample viewcvs.conf, etc.).
