[rancid] viewvc premature end of script problem rancid

[Martin Kristensen]

Hi
I used the RhysEvans guide to install rancid and everything seems to be
working except viewvc.
I used tortois to verify that the cvs is working, but I really want the
viewvc web interface to work too.

This is what I see in the apache error log:

I also get almost the same error message when I runcvsdbadmin rebuild
(point 29 in the guide) :

[root at rancid viewvc-1.1.6]# /usr/local/viewvc-1.1.6/bin/./cvsdbadmin rebuild

Using repository root `/usr/local/rancid/var/CVS'

file: /usr/local/viewvc-1.1.6/viewvc.conf, line: 70
'cvs_roots = cvs:\n'

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong ?

Thanks!
