Rancid issues

[Gary L Roberts]

   im using rancid to backup my network configs,., it runs properly, no
   problems,
   however, when trying to view my repository thru my web  browser, i get
   this error,.
   Error: No valid CVS roots found! See @CVSrepositories in the
   configuration file (/usr/local/etc/cvsweb-3.0.6/cvsweb.conf).
   the default directory is /home/rancid/var/rancid/CVS, and sure enough,
   right under it is CVSROOT.
   ive checked my permissions, and i'm at a loss,, any suggestions?
   Thanks
   Gary
