And restart Apache?

Yes, I ran that and restarted Apache and also memcache.

#3 chipx86 
Okay, set DEBUG = True in {sitedir}/conf/settings_local.py, then restart Apache. You
should get more meaningful errors that we can use to debug this.

Are you using CVS for your repositories?

Looks like there's a bug in reviewboard/scmtools/cvs.py. Try to hand-edit that file
and go to line 140. Change 'exe' to 'cvs.exe'. Then restart Apache.

I'll fix this and make sure it gets into 1.0 (which is due Saturday).

Thanks a ton! It worked. yes we are using cvs. Thank you very much for the help. 
Three teams uses review board so it was blocking us.

#7 chipx86 
Sorry that blocked you, but glad we got it figured out fast! I've committed the fix,
so it will be in tomorrow's nightly, and will be in 1.0 Saturday.

Fixed in r2011.

#8 manjuna********@gmai***** (Google Code) (Is this you? Claim this profile.) 
No Problem. We are very happy that it got fixed soon.
#9 manjuna********@gmai***** (Google Code) (Is this you? Claim this profile.) 
Hi, I just want to let you know that on my test PC running XP, I need to make one 
more change to fix this issue. In the line 138 reviewboard/scmtools/cvs.py I had to 
change ':' to ';' since in windows it is not ':'

for dir in os.environ['PATH'].split(os.environ.get('IFS', ';')):
                                                           ^----------Changed to ; 

Now sure how in Production Env ( Running Windows x64 2003 ) it worked.
#10 manjuna********@gmai***** (Google Code) (Is this you? Claim this profile.) 
Here is more help on output when used ';' and ':' on Windows XP. I think it might 
break for others so we should first check os.name and set delimiter?????

>>> for dir in os.environ['PATH'].split(os.environ.get('IFS', ';')):
...    print dir
