How can an existing script not be found?

Question

bash

# user config
if [ -e config ]
then
  chmod a+x config # на всякий случай
  . config
fi

This script must import the variables defined in the config.
Writes: ./server: 12: .: config: not found
What could be the reason?

Answer 1

you apparently do not have the current folder in PATH.
And you need to execute
which means
source ./config
which means
to call the config file from the current ./ folder
ps By default, Linux does not look for a file to execute in the current directory. Searches strictly according to the list of directories specified in the PATH variable
