installing viewcvs is fairly straight forward where exactly are you stuck, what error are you getting ?

hi,

when i run the following command in IE then it throws the error which is below the command line:

http://localhost:7467/viewvc and enter


error:
An Exception Has Occurred

cvs not found! The wrong path for this repository was configured, or the server on which the CVS tree lives may be down. Please try again in a few minutes.

The repository path is /home/cvs/CVSROOT


then i try to run the ./standalone.py command from terminal
it throws the following error:
./standalone.py -r /home/cvs
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./standalone.py", line 643, in ?

self.socket.bind(self.server_address)
File "<string>", line 1, in bind
socket.error: (98, 'Address already in use')


Kindly, help me to sort out this problem.

Thanks & Regards,

The error on the command line is because another viewcvs process is already running and bound to the port
