Hi everyone,

I have both apache and cvswebb installed on Dunbuntu (a simplified Chinese flavour of Ubuntu Linux).

The problem is that in http://localhost/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ which uses apache the icons and colours do not show. This information is contained in /cvsweb/ions/ and /cvsweb/css/cvsweb.css .

There is no problem with the sourcecode generated by the cgi is apparently correct, so if the a page is saved an then opened as a file:// all the colours and icons ahow up clearly. I have tried changing the permissions of the directory /cvsweb/ and everything in the directory but the result is the same.

What should I try next?

John

Hi John,

Check the absolute path, remember, Linux is case sensitive. Make sure you specify the full path as well as follow the proper case assignment. Good luck & Take care.

Hi Sashi,
Thank-you.

The paths are correct, as mentioned if one saves the page as something.html then the icons and colours (definied in cvsweb.css) all show up correctly.
