cannot start Mozilla under Debian Sarge

#1 Post by cc »

hi

I cannot start Mozilla under Debian Sarge Stable.
It says :

Code: Select all

  
Details: Failed to execute child process "mozilla-suite"  
(file or directory not found)


to remove and install again with apt-get doesn't help !
I'm using GNOME.

kind regards

First try mozilla as another user to make sure that this is not just a problem with one user.

the mozilla command is a link to mozilla-suite.
Have you already tried:
# apt-get install mozilla-browser
?
Try to reconfigure with:
# dpkg-reconfigure mozilla-browser

and if that dosen't work you could remove and reinstall:
# apt-get remove --purge mozilla-browser
# apt-get install mozilla-browser
