FollowIn the previous post We have discussed how to setup a cvs server in ten steps ( cvs server setup ) , now its time for a GUI to browse your repo’s . I have found a very nice gui opensource tool view vc ( www.viewvc.org ) and the Installation and configuration are documented as follows : –
1) Download the viewvc and install it using the viewvc-install script .
# wget http://viewvc.tigris.org/files/documents/3330/49264/viewvc-1.1.18.tar.gz
# tar -zxf viewvc-1.1.18.tar.gz
# cd viewvc-1.1.18
# yum install rcs ( To fix dependency issues )
# ./viewvc-install
2) Edit the viewvc conf and set the cvs root
# vi /usr/local/viewvc-1.1.18/viewvc.conf
>>> cvs_roots = cvsroot: /home/cvsroot
>>> allowed_views = annotate, diff, markup, roots, co
3) How to replace the default logo with your own company logo
# cd /usr/local/viewvc-1.1.18/templates/docroot/images/
# mv your-logo.png viewvc-logo.png
4 ) Apache configuration
# vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
ServerName adminlogs.info:80
DocumentRoot “/usr/local/viewvc-1.1.18”
<Directory “/usr/local/viewvc-1.1.18”>
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
</Directory >
ScriptAlias /cvsweb /usr/local/viewvc-1.1.18/bin/cgi/viewvc.cgi
ScriptAlias /query /usr/local/viewvc-1.1.18/bin/cgi/query.cgi
5) Apache conf entry to enable ldap authentication for cvs web GUI.
<Location “/cvsweb”>
AuthType Basic
AuthName “CVS Authentication”
AuthBasicProvider ldap
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off
AuthLDAPURL ldap://yourldapserver.com:389/dc=ldapdomain,dc=com?uid
Require valid-user
</Location>
6) Restart Apache
7) Access the GUI using http://adminlogs.info/cvsweb
