[cvsnt] cvsnt web on Windows partially working

[libogen .]

I hope this is the right place to ask questions about CVSWEB NT :)

I'm working on a local filesystem CVS repo on Win98SE using TortoiseCVS. 
TCVS is a nice client but at times I want an overview of my project, hence 
my interest in CVSWEB NT.

Yesterday I installed CVSWEB NT using cvswebnt_193_2_3.zip into my local web 
server (Apache 2.0.48 + Perl5.6.1 etc.). I have rcsutils including rlog etc. 
(I used rcs57nt.zip) in a directory which is in my path.

After configuring cvsweb.conf & cvsweb.cgi I pointed my browser to 
http://localhost/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ and it worked. I could then enter my 
project dir and see my sub-dirs but when I browse a dir containing files I 
get an error message as follows:

Error: Failed to spawn GNU rlog on 'c:/cvsrepos/fc/www//my.css,v, 
c:/cvsrepos/fc/www//subpages.css,v'
did you set the $ENV{PATH} in your configuration file correctly ?

I had set the $ENV{PATH} in cvsweb.conf and tried variations eg. reversing 
slashes etc. (I don't think this is the problem though).

I get an entry in Apache's error.log for each file in the repo's dir I was 
trying to view, as follows:

[Mon May 10 04:14:28 2004] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] rlog: 
c:/cvsrepos/fc/www//my.css,v: warning: Unknown phrases like `deltatype ...;' 
are present.
, referer: http://localhost/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/fc/

And a final entry:

[Mon May 10 04:14:28 2004] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] rlog: RCS/2,v: No such 
file or directory
, referer: http://localhost/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/fc/

When I run rlog directly eg. "D:\utilities>rlog 
c:/cvsrepos/fc/www//my.css,v", (the result is the same if I use one '/' 
before my.css) the following is output:

rlog: c:/cvsrepos/fc/www//my.css,v: warning: Unknown phrases like `deltatype 
...
;' are present.

RCS file: c:/cvsrepos/fc/www//my.css,v

Initial revision
==============================================

As in Apache's error.log, a "Unknown phrases like `deltatype ...;' are 
present." warning appears but as you can see, rlog then continues and 
outputs correctly.

Could it be that CVSWEB NT can't handle this warning and quits or...?

I've searched the web and this mailing list's archives but couldn't find a 
solution so I'm crossing my fingers that someone out there can help me (and 
anyone else with this problem) ;-)

Cheers,
Kieran
