Not a directory

You are trying to do something to a file where a directory would be expected. eg
chdir("/etc/motd");
This more frequently (and confusingly) occurs when you are refering to a file, where you would expect a file to work, but the directory path is wrong, eg
fopen("/etc/motd/foo","r");

because "/etc/motd" is a file, not a directory, and therefore can't "contain" "/foo".
