    Default bin/pwd error

    I'm trying to fix a bugzilla installation that decided to stop working on me.

    When I run ./configure.pl from the user account (the normal setup script) an error is returned

    /bin/pwd: cannot open directory `../../../..': Permission denied

    I found the cpanel post here about it: http://blog.cpanel.net/?p=50

    I ran /scripts/enablefileprotect from root user. Still getting the same issue.

    I saw redhat had a post http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2009-0173.html

    I'm a little new to this so I'm not quite sure what my next step should be - do I need to run a yum command to update the package or will cpanel update it on it's own soon?

    Try

    yum update

    first

    If you are using CentOS 5 I don't believe the update has trickled down yet.

    ftp://mirror.switch.ch/pool/1/mirror...9.el5.i386.rpm - This is the file they reference that contains the fix, don't know if it actually does or not.
