Hi Forum,
I am not sure this is the right forum but anyway here's the problem I recently encountered.
My system and settings: AMD K7 450 Khz, 320 MB, 50 Gb disk. Fedora 2 (latest stable).
Problem:
After a restart of the system some directories cannot be reached by applications using them. The most important ones are:
Mozilla: cannot open /var/www/html (root directory). However, I can open the index-file (/var/www/html/index.html).
The software installer says it cannot find stabdard packages like pam, sed, usermode,setup, chkconfig, grep etc.
Of course I can open the programs (like sed, grep, etc) normaly from the prompt in a terminal-window.
I have looked at the ldirectories with respect to permissions but these are OK. Also yum doesn't complain when upgrading packages. RPM, however, has this problem (which I think corroborates with the problems with the software installer).
It doesn't matter if I use RPM from root or as a different user.
I hope somebody has a suggestion on what has happened and how it can be repaired (short of a compete reinstall).
Greetings
Joep
