<p class=MsoNormal>With the problems I had with the router configs not updating,
and other various login problems, I decided to upgrade, and followed the
instructions RE moving directories to /var/rancid, etc. That was my first
attempt, did solve anything, so I wiped out the rancid directory and all its
childs, and reinstalled Rancid from scratch. Good new is CVS is working once
again, bad news is I get <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>When I click on the link to the repository. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I checked the viewvc.conf, it is pointing to /usr/local/rancid/var/CVS,
same as it did before, the directories are still listed like this, and if I go
into the CVS directory, and into one of the groups, I can see the ,v on the
files, and the logs also indicate CVS is being updated, and the files are of
current configs. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Now if I change the location on viewvc.conf to /var/Rancid,
I can see all the previous configs from the old setup. I checked permissions on
the directories, and they are the same. There is one difference between this
setup and the previous one, I used a new user for it, rancid instead of Rancid.
I don’t know if that has anything to do with it or not. Last time I ran
into this it was a permissions issue with the directories. <o:p></o:p></p>
