Hm.  What sort of error is that, exactly?  Is it not resolving?  Not
connecting?

I remember having a lot of trouble trying to get that same sort of thing
to work with ViewCVS's CGI running as the root of a virtual host, and I
can't remember if I gave up on it or if I got it to work and then
eventually switched it to the subdirectory I have now..

I use this for http://bunny.darktech.org/cvs:

        Alias /viewcvs/ /usr/share/viewcvs/
	ScriptAlias /cvs /usr/lib/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi

I think aliasing the directory directly to the script is important.  If
you have directory indexing off, then / aliases to a directory that may
not be loading the index file (for some other reason) and may be
confusing you more.  (If you can get a directory listing up, then you
know it's at least looking in the right place and then you can try
diagnosing why it's not loading your index...)

I seem to recall the presence/absence of the slashes were relevant, but
it's been a while.
