Be sure to uncomment the Baybuy and BayBuy08 @CVSrepositories entries in
cvsweb.conf.  You should still be able to see CVSROOT, however.

Check your Apache error logs.  If CVSweb can't see the directory for an
entry in CVSrepositories, it'll print a warning that should appear in the
Apache error logs.  This is almost definitely the problem.

Check /var/log/messages and /var/log/audit/audit.log for any related
SELinux messages.  CVSweb needs read access to your CVS repositories.
Normally the CVSweb cgi script will be run by the same user as Apache.
