Any help?

When open in browser have a error like below:

Mod_python error: "PythonHandler apache"

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "F:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\mod_python\apache.py", line 287, in HandlerDispatch log=debug)
  File "F:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\mod_python\apache.py", line 461, in import_module f, p, d = imp.find_module(parts[i], path)

ImportError: No module named apache

I am following your step by step guide, but when running the standalone py I receive the following error message:

C:\viewcvs-0.9.4>c:\Python23\python.exe standalone.py -g
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "standalone.py", line 511, in ?
    import viewcvs
ImportError: No module named viewcvs

But the file viewcvs is inside the lib subdir

C:\viewcvs-0.9.4\lib>dir vie*
 Directory di C:\viewcvs-0.9.4\lib
16/03/2006  17.31            81.459 viewcvs.py
16/03/2006  17.31            74.333 viewcvs.pyc

Here the list of Sw installed:
SVN 1.3.0
Python 2.3.5
viewcvs 0.9.4 (download from tigris, because http://russ.hn.org/viewcvs is unavailable)

Have I done something wrong?
Thanks for your help

While these were certainly the best instructions for installing ViewCVS with SVN on Windows, I tried it and cannot get it to work, I believe I made all the right moves, however, when testing the standalone.py, the browser return with message:

An Exception Has Occurred
Python Traceback

SystemError: null argument to internal routine

Using SVN 1.2.3, Python 2.3 + svn bindings, viewcvs from http://russ.hn.org/viewcvs/ (that url no longer responds) ... followed the instructions meticulously ... to no avail.

relevant viewcvs.conf lines:

svn_roots = mall: D:/svn/svn_repos/mall
root_parents = D:/svn/svn_repos : svn
default_root = mall

Anyone any ideas?

Martin, this excellent guide got me started into the right direction. Please allow me to provide some feedback:

• Get ViewCVS ...

  I downloaded CVS HEAD of viewcs from Sourceforge and seem to be able to use viewcvs quite successfully on Windows XP SP2, with Apache 2.0.54 and Python 2.3.

  The only issue I faced was a firewall between myself and Sourceforge, preventing direct CVS access. I "fixed" this by using CVSGrab to download the CVS repository data.

• mod_python

  I fully realize the benefits of running using mod_python - but I am unable to find an "offical" build of mod_python for Python 2.3 and Apache 2.0.54 on Windows.

  With things being as they are, I have difficulties pushing "odd" things into the direction of those who will have to support the installation (and mod_auth_sspi already stretches that!). In the end, I decided to go the CGI route, reasoning that this

  • reduces system requirements (i.e. no mod_python)
  • simplifies my setup

  This approach reduces the paragraph "ViewCVS with Apache setup" above to

  Add the line ScriptAlias /viewcvs /www/cgi/viewcvs.cgi into the Apache httpd.conf file

Hope this helps
Stefan

ViewCVS with Apache setup:

• I missed the modules/mod_python.so in my apache directory!

  Here is a link to binaries for the 2.4 version of python:

  http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2005-February/017486.html

  and here are the other versions:

  http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/modpython/win/

• I could not get the viewcvs.py program to work. It could be replaced with the cgi script instead! (the location lines seems to be removed from my posting but they should be in your config)

ScriptAlias /svn "C:\Program Files\viewcvs-1.0-dev\www\cgi\viewcvs.cgi"
<location /svn>
   AddHandler python-program .py
   PythonPath "['C:\Program Files\viewcvs-1.0-dev\lib']+sys.path"
   PythonHandler apache
   PythonDebug On
   AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
</location>

Otherwise these howto's are very good, saved me a lot of time! Many thanks! /Anders H.
