What does this error mean? Do I need to set a path statement for access to the subdirectory?

Check with

which rlog

if rlog is in on of the paths in @command_path and check its
permissions.

If you are running Perl 5.10: There is a bug in Perl (fixed after the
5.10 release), that prevents the -x test in the search_path() function
in the cvsweb CGI script to run properly. The problem can be easily
verified by turning on debugging. There your webserver-log will show
something like

Can't exec "" ...

as error even if rlog exists in one of the paths in @command_path. Use
the following patch to fix it temporarily:
