[chora] cvsroot not found

[e-vpn <Remy Arts>]

I am having some setup problems with chora,
As follow I have  setup my environment

 cd /home/httpd/vhosts/horde/


cp /tmp/chora-latest.tar.gz .
tar zxvf chora-latest.tar.gz
mv chora-1.2.2 chora
cd chora
more README
more docs/INSTALL
cd config/
for foo in *.dist; do cp $foo `basename $foo .dist`; done
vi conf.php
vi cvsroots.php
edit ->   'location' => '/var/cvsroot',

[root at localhost config]#

after that I get a
500 Internal Error
  CVSROOT not found! This could be a misconfiguration by the server
administrator, or the server could be having temporary problems. Please try
again later.


My cvs configuration:
mkdir /var/cvsroot
su - cvs
chmod 2775 /var/cvsroot
cvs -d /var/cvsroot init
cd /var/test
cvs -d /var/cvsroot import project
Output : No conflicts created by this import
cvs checkout project

all works fine  when playing local.

I know that's the CVSROOT is set correctly inside chora and when I echo the
var $CVSROOT
,i get the correct path .

Any body knows an solution or workaround ?
