This feature is being used in Fisheye.
For some reason, the rep element is missing in the
<FISHEYE_INST>/config.xmlfile here:1<viewcvs-url-mapper><map viewcvsname="<Some URL>"/></viewcvs-url-mapper>As you can see from the link above, the ViewCVS name needs an associated repository with it, which is missing from the above tag.
OR
Older version of Fisheye/Crucible is started.
Resolution
Update this element:
1<viewcvs-url-mapper><map viewcvsname="<Some URL>"/></viewcvs-url-mapper>as follows:
1<viewcvs-url-mapper><map viewcvsname="<Some URL>" rep="<Repository Name>"/></viewcvs-url-mapper>Note the "rep" tag after the "viewcvsname" tag. Add your repository name to this tag.
Restart your Fisheye instance after modifying the
<FISHEYE_HOME>/config.xmlfile.Make sure that you are starting the latest version of Fisheye/Crucible in your server.
