cvsweb issue

[Yann Willaime]

Hi everyone,
Now rancid works fine, I have the config files and no errors on rancid logs.
Now I'm trying to setup cvsweb correctly in order to provide a GUI for exploitation teams.

cvsweb.conf looks like this :

@CVSrepositories = (
#       'local'   => ['Local Repository', '/var/lib/cvs'],
        'FIREWALLS' => ['FIREWALLS', '/home/rancid/var/rancid/CVS'],


But when accessing http://XX.XX.XX.XX/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ with a browser, I get the usual CVS webpage, but with no folders or files whatsoever.

apache user (www-data) and rancid are part of the same group (rancid), I even changed the rights for all the CVS folder and it's subfolders.

Again, I think I lack the system skills in order to diagnose this thoroughly, I analysed logs, followed best practices, now I'm stuck.
Thanks in advance.
Yann.

Guys, no need to bother searching, this was a rights issue, apparently, rancid base folder need to be set to
drwxrwxr-x

Now I cans see my folders.

Hello Hugo,

Nice to hear from you :)

It was indeed a rights issue, apparently apache user www-data could not read the CVS, after fixing that, it works like a charm.

Many thanks for your answer.

Hello Yann,

long time no see :)

are you sure that apache user can browse the /home/rancid/var/ ?

This can be a permission issue.

Did you already collect some data in this CVS repository ?

I mean did you already backup some devices ?
