199339 - mozilla-bin executable exits immediately if not run from within its own directory

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 198025

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Robert Neff]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; HP-UX 9000/785; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030321
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; HP-UX 9000/785; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030321

When mozilla is started up, exits immediately if NOT started from within
the installation directory.  I see this on HP-UX, with version 1.3.  I have
not seen this on Linux 1.3 release, or earlier HP-UX release.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try to start up mozilla from within install directory: 
# /opt/mozilla_13/mozilla
This is failing in HP-UX 10.20
but this works:
# cd /opt/mozilla_13 ; mozilla
The startup scripts run fine, but the problem occurs when mozilla-bin is invoked.


Actual Results:  
The program immediately halted, with exit code 1.  Browser never gets
going.

Expected Results:  
started up normally.

This is a new problem in version 1.3 code.  It was not a problem in earlier
HP-UX releases.  Previous HP-UX code was version 1.3a


I can work around this with a wrapper script which does a cd to the 
mozilla directory before executing it.
