hi

i installed rancid and working fine while back up the network
devices.But i cant access the configuration files using cvsweb.
once i get into cvsweb nothing displayed

here are my configurations

vi /etc/cvsweb/cvsweb.conf

@CVSrepositories = (
       'local'   => ['Local Repository', '/var/cvs'],
       'networking' => ['Networking Devices',
'/usr/local/rancid/var/networking'],

vi /usr/local/rancid/etc/rancid.conf

BASEDIR=/usr/local/rancid/var; export BASEDIR
CVSROOT=$BASEDIR/CVS; export CVSROOT

[***@RANCID01 var]# pwd

/usr/local/rancid/var

[***@RANCID01 var]# ls -al
total 20
drwxrwxrwx 5 rancid netadm 4096 Aug 31 16:51 .
drwxrwx--- 9 rancid netadm 4096 Sep  1 14:09 ..
drwxrwxr-x 3 rancid netadm 4096 Aug 31 16:22 CVS
drwxr-x--- 2 rancid netadm 4096 Sep  1 14:58 logs
drwxr-x--- 3 rancid netadm 4096 Sep  1 14:59 networking
[***@C-SVRANCID01 var]#

configuration file resides cd /usr/local/rancid/var/networking/configs/


[***@RANCID01 configs]# ls
10.100.100.1  10.100.140.1  10.100.234.1  10.100.252.1

[***@RANCID01 configs]#

Is it a issue related to permissions? please help me to get rid of
this small issue.

im willing to give more info you need

tnx

Hi,

You need to export your CVS directory, so change
/usr/local/rancid/var/networking to /usr/local/rancid/var/CVS in cvsweb.conf

Cheers,

Gareth

Hi,

Looks like your cvs tree is not correctly configured.

What output do you get if you run the following (as rancid user)

cvs log /usr/local/rancid/var/networking/configs/10.100.100.1

Cheers,

Gareth

tnx a lot for your response.I did the change what you have mentioned.

CVSROOT directory.

you have a couple of other options as well in cvsweb.conf

Post by harsha senaratna
@CVSrepositories = (
'local' => ['Local Repository', '/var/cvs'],
'networking' => ['Networking Devices',
'/usr/local/rancid/var/networking'],

# The default CVS root. Note that @CVSrepositories is list, not a hash,
# so you'll want to use 2 * 0-based-index-number here; or set this directly
# to the default's symbolic name. Unless specified, the first valid one in
# @CVSrepositories is used as the default.
#
# For example:
#
#$cvstreedefault = $CVSrepositories[2 * 0];
#$cvstreedefault = 'local';

as you have configured the 'local' repository first in
@CVSrepositories, it will use that as default. either get rid of it
(or comment it out), or add a specific default. in your case that
would look like:

$cvstreedefault = 'networking';


you can also hide the CVSROOT:

%DEFAULTVALUE = (
# hidecvsroot: Don't show the CVSROOT directory. Note that this is
# just the default for a user settable option (like others in this
# %DEFAULTVALUE hash); it won't really prevent access to CVSROOT.
# See @ForbiddenFiles for that.
# 1 Do not include the top-level CVSROOT directory in dir listings
# 0 Treat the top-level CVSROOT directory just like all other dirs
"hidecvsroot" => "1",
