I'm trying to run jabberd bat when I start it with standard config file /etc/jabber/jabber.xml, it answers "Configuration parsing using ./jabber.xml failed: unable to open file". I read the Administration Guide - Checkpoint #1 but nonexisting config file nor bad XML syntax are not the issue because loading the same config file from another directory is OK:

ms:/etc/jabber# jabberd -c ./jabber.xml 
Configuration parsing using ./jabber.xml failed: unable to open file
ms:/etc/jabber# cp ./jabber.xml /tmp/
ms:/etc/jabber# md5sum ./jabber.xml /tmp/jabber.xml 
c4c2f16603f4a00f34d610910793c2da  ./jabber.xml
c4c2f16603f4a00f34d610910793c2da  /tmp/jabber.xml
ms:/etc/jabber# ls -l ./jabber.xml /tmp/jabber.xml 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23698 Feb 10 12:32 ./jabber.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23698 Feb 11 09:41 /tmp/jabber.xml
ms:/etc/jabber# jabberd -c /tmp/jabber.xml 
20100211T08:41:47: [notice] (-internal): initializing server

Look at video on http://www.jabberd-cannot-read-config.xf.cz

Any idea? Thanks, Petr.
