I've fixed one problem but run into another.  This is my first work with this
particular app.  Do you happen to know if it was ever properly running?  Right
now its just kind of in limbo.

Problem solved (I think).  Looks like the packager didn't mark configs as such
and when this was updated (in March?) some files got moved.  Give it a look and
if its working please let me know.

Well, now the start-page loads fine. But should it be able to do
anything beyond that? Like querying the CVS repository? Nothing seems
to work.

cvs.fedoraproject.org is _the_ SCM for Fedora Directory Server.  As such, we
really, really depend on tools such as bonsai and lxr to help manage the source
code.  If additional people are needed to work on these tools, I'll see what I
can do.

Someone with interest in this please clone this ticket or reopen
an own one.
