[rancid] viewvc premature end of script problem rancid

Tue Aug 10 07:57:50 UTC 2010

Most of the config was already commented out, but I overlooked the *
[general]* section in the viewvc config and placed the *cvs_roots = Rancid:
/usr/local/rancid/var/CVS* in the top of the config instead of in the
assigned section.
The [cvsdb] section was already commented out so that didn't have an impact
when I added my cvsdb info.
So now it actually works :-)
