Error in cvsweb 2.9.1 on Solaris 9

[Thomas J. Boyda]

Hello Ville,

I took cvsweb out from under mod_perl.

No problem.

It looks like there is a problem with the cvs version - I have cvs 1.11.9
installed - although I got the same error under 1.11.6.

Here is what is put out to my web browser:

---
Error

I did not see anything in the error_log associated with this error.

I may give it a try.

Thank you for your help.
