Have you checked the permissions of the directories if they are world
readable?

Why not like the default as a point of start...

Why do you modify... The first step should to try as it was and get
it running...

If you use ".." then the cvsweb.conf have to be in ../conf directory
(one
level above cgi-bin. BTW have you set the permissions correct?

I think the message have to be "uninitialized value..." within the 
Apache error log file. If you have something different you should try
to install it in the default way and then change this defaults to your 
needs.

The icons are separatley configured in the cvsweb.conf file. you have to
give access to them.

Kind regards.
