[SOLVED] viewvc 1.1.5-1.4 on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS

Habitual · 02-24-2015, 12:39 PM

Well, I managed to get it working on a Virtualbox running debian 7.8 Wheezy.
But I'll be damned if I can replicate the steps to an Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS server.

http://ubuntuhost.com/viewvc just shows me python code.

Debian host:
Server version: Apache/2.2.22 (Debian)

Ubuntu host:
Server version: Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu)

both installed using

Code:

apt-get install viewvc

and both are viewvc 1.1.5-1.4

I can manage to run the stand-alone server using

Code:

/usr/lib/viewvc/bin/standalone.py -r /var/www/svn/cirrhus9/ -d

and navigate to it using

Code:

lynx http://localhost:49152/viewvc

and see what I expect to see on the Ubuntu host.

The /etc/apache2/apache2.conf on the debian host only needed 1 line to work:

Code:

### Viewvc
ScriptAlias /viewvc /usr/lib/viewvc/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi

The same line on the Ubuntu host just shows me python code.

I read carefully this INSTALL (from trunk) even though I am not installing from trunk.

I'd appreciate any help you may offer.
Thanks for your time.

Installed WebSVN instead and the most important thing was I moved the repo out of /var/www/
