I have placed apache, cvsnt, perl, and rcs all on the same D drive and at the root with no spaces. CVS is working and I am able to login using pserver and sspi and list the default folders using the example at http://w1.858.telia.com/~u85831169/InstallCVSNT.html#SSPI . However, I am still not able to access via the cvsweb.cgi script. I get the same error "(720005)Access is denied. : couldn't spawn child process: D:/ApacheGroup/Apache2/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi" from the apache error.log. The webpage says Internal Server Error. I'm making progress but still not there yet. Anyone out there using cvsweb run into this same problem? The drive is ntfs and I'm logged in with admin rights so where is this error coming from? Apache config issues or cvsweb issues?
