[FishEye Knowledge Base]
For backwards-compatibility and legacy system support, FishEye contains a URL-compatibility mode with the ViewVC (formerly known as ViewCVS) and CVSWeb tools. This allows FishEye to supplant or extend ViewVC, making use of the URLs set up for ViewVC.
To configure ViewVC compatibility, click 'ViewCVS URL Mappings' on the 'Admin Menu'.
For example, a ViewVC URL of the form
http://host/viewcvs.cgi/x/y/z
can be viewed in FishEye at
http://fisheyehost/viewcvs/x/y/z
FishEye can be configured to determine exactly how it provides this compatibility mode. In particular, you can configure how to map ViewVC repository names (cvsroot
or root
in the query parameter) to FishEye repository names.
The Default Mapping can be used to configure which repository to use if no repository is specified in the URL. If a repository name is given in the URL, you can tell FishEye how to translate that to the name of a FishEye repository. Otherwise, FishEye will attempt to use the repository name given in the URL directly.

Once you have entered the mappings you will need to restart Fisheye.
