User-Agent: Build Identifier: whenever you goto server.domain.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi (i.e. you want to view your repository from the web), you get an Internal server error. Investigation of /var/log/apache/error.log leads to the fact that $ENV{PATH} is unclean, so I fixed it like this. Perhaps we should have this in cvs web because when I googled, most people seemed to just want to take the "-T" option of of the #!/usr/bin/perl line. Running without tainting checks does _not_ fix the problem. Setting the path in the script to something reliable does. Perhaps the default path should be set in the top of the script i.e.: ..... require 5.000; $ENV{PATH} = "/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin"; use strict; ..... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge cvsweb 2. try to go to server.domain.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi 3. goto to your http error log
