Trying to track down a vague error in apache logs
apache2, php
Solution
`cd ~` means "change the directory I'm in to my home directory". Either you, or a script is trying to unsuccesfully run this command. Like Chris said, a grep will save your day:
cd /
grep -r 'cd ~' * -n
^this will switch to your root directory `cd /`, recursively `-r` search for the string `'cd ~'` in all files `*`, and also give the line number `-n`
Problem
I am trying to stamp out errors on a new Ubuntu server install and am getting errors in the logs that I have no clue on how to track down. The logs show this line over and over ``` sh: 1: cd: can't cd to ~ sh: 1: cd: can't cd to ~ sh: 1: cd: can't cd to ~ sh: 1: cd: can't cd to ~ ``` How do I find the source from such a vague error? It does not even have a time of occurrence that most errors in the logs have. Thanks in advance. It is going to be a long day!
