Description of problem: When installing/configuring Bugzilla, the home directory worked from has its ownership changed to: drwxr-x--- 35 root apache 4096 Med 11 09:17 ./ See the end of the these comments: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21561#c26 https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16776#c14 Easily recoverable by (as root): # chown <user>:<user> /home/<user> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Both Mageia 5 and 6 Steps to Reproduce: Fully install Bugzilla (as root), revert to the normal user, you are denied access to your home directory as noted above. This will be tedious to test: if you already have bugzilla running, you do not want to disturb it. If not, it is a long process - to do twice! And Mageia 5 is nearly expired.

Sounds like using "su" to become root instead of "su -" (short for su -login). If so, this is not a bug, but incorrect use of su.

Just tested installing and configuring bugzilla on Mageia 6 x86_64. No changes to ownership in /home. Closing as invalid.

But I always do this, so doubt the designation 'incorrect'. Never mind, happy to close the bug. The fewxer the better.
