Try to reinstall it.. ie remove mozilla rpm and then reinstall from the installation cd.
do it like.. rpm -e mozilla*.*
then to install from cd.. using add and remove packages or rpm -i mozilla*.*

better log in command line mod to do all , not a shell when X is running

I just face ur problem just now. What i did to solve this problem is:

uninstall the mozilla by typing:

1. rpm -e mozilla-xxxx.i386.rpm --nodeps

2. then reboot

3. enter root and install again by typing:
    rpm -ivh mozilla-xxx.i386.rpm --nodeps from ur cdrom.

hello dragoncity

one more thing plz tell me the exact location of the mozilla file because to remove the packeage we have to enter in the directory. so plz guide me .

Mozilla is located in the 1st CD, this is the path

/mnt/cdrom/RedHat9/RPMS/

find "mozilla-version-i386.rpm" and not something like
"mozilla-mail....rpm"

When u initiate rpm -e mozilla.xxx.i386.rpm, it will delete all the folders and directories. But, PLEASE dont remove any local files in the directories or sth ugly will happen.

Let RPM do all the work.

But at ur own risk. If u want to remove then u may go to /usr/lib/ where u will see 2 mozilla folders. One is "mozilla" itself and another is "mozilla-1.x.x" . If it's not there then it's at /usr/local/

BUT, dont touch this directory if u can. Unless u know what u r doing.

I was out yesterday...
do this..  
to find exact version of mozialla on ur systemmm..

Code: [Select]

rpm -q mozillaIt will give you some thing like "mozilla-1.4.1-17"
then do following..

Code: [Select]

rpm -e mozilla-1.4.1-17 --nodepsPlease do all above when you are really in command line mode ie. no X should be running anywhere.
Then reboot and again install mozilla from cd but again from command line..
to install from cd .. insert the cd and

Code: [Select]

mount /mnt/cdromthen

Code: [Select]

rpm -ivh mozilla-xxx.i386.rpm --nodeps You should first cd to rpm directory that is..

Code: [Select]

cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat9/RPMS
What we are doing is reinstall so that if any thing is misconfigured or improper which is not allowing mozilla to run get resolved automatically.
