CSS not reading properly

[Sam Munzani]

I figured out my problem. System install had created 
/usr/local/www/data, /usr/local/www/cgi-bin and /usr/local/www/icons 
empty directories at fresh install. The apache22 loads in its own 
directory(/usr/local/www/apache22/cgi-bin el al) now a days. When I 
loaded cvsweb3, it found empty directories and since that directory 
structure was its 1st priority, it installed the scripts, icons etc in 
those empty directory.

##### A section of Makefile from cvsweb3 ports directory. ##########
# Specify these directories in relative paths to ${PREFIX}.
.if exists(${PREFIX}/www/cgi-bin)
CGIDIR?=        www/cgi-bin
ICONSDIR?=      www/icons
CSSDIR?=        www/data/css
.elif exists(${PREFIX}/www/apache22/cgi-bin)
CGIDIR?=       www/apache22/cgi-bin
ICONSDIR?=     www/apache22/icons
CSSDIR?=       www/apache22/data/css
.elif exists(${PREFIX}/apache/cgi-bin)
CGIDIR?=        apache/cgi-bin
ICONSDIR?=      apache/icons
CSSDIR?=        apache/data/css
.else
CGIDIR?=        share/apache/cgi-bin
ICONSDIR?=      share/apache/icons
CSSDIR?=        share/apache/data/css
.endif

I removed both packages, installed apache13 port which installed it self 
in /usr/local/www. Everything worked great.

I could have just removed cvsweb3 only and reinstall after removing 
those empty directory. However it was better to install apache in 
/usr/local/www because not doing so breaks many other installs like 
Nagios etc. I just didn't feel like configuring proper paths on each 
software I install so just changed the apache root :-)

Thanks to all who helped,

Sam
