Settings in opencms-workplace.xml

All settings of the workplace administration may also be changed in the configuration file opencms-workplace.xml

<rfsfileviewsettings>
 <rootPath>/usr/local/tomcat5/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/</rootPath>
 <filePath>C:\tomcat6\webapps\opencms\WEB-INF\config\opencms-modules.xml</filePath>
 <enabled>true</enabled>
 <fileEncoding>windows-1252</fileEncoding>
 <isLogfile>true</isLogfile>
 <windowSize>200</windowSize>
</rfsfileviewsettings>

Especially the value

<rootPath>value</rootPath>

may not be configured in the workplace. It is needed if you want to be able to view different files than only opencms.log (e.g. the configuration files). With the path you allow the log file viewer to access all files below it.
