BUG: motion can't open motion.conf

Describe the bug in plain text here. Paste in error messages and other text where new-lines must be preserved in the field below

angel and i found that when motion is started as ./motion, it can't open motion.conf for writing, when you try to write config changes in the web interface.

Paste in your error messages, config settings, terminal window output etc in this text field.

error angel discovered was:
