Configuring the shared directory in general.properties

WorldServer uses a configuration entry in the general.properties file to specify the shared FTS Server directory.

Procedure

  1. Go to the WS_CONFIG folder and open the general.properties file with a text editor.
  2. Change the value of the ftsserver_shared_directory property to the same UNC path you used for the shared folder when installing the FTS Server.
    You can also find this path in the Sdl.WorldServer.FileTypeSupport.Server.HostProcess.exe.config file.
  3. Go to the folder where you installed the FTS Server and open the Log.Launcher.config file with a text editor.
  4. Search for SDLrollingFileAppender and change the value of the File parameter to <ftsshareddirectory>\logs\engine.log, where <ftsshareddirectory> is the UNC path you used for the shared folder when installing the FTS Server.
    For example:
    <appender name="SDLrollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender,log4net">
    <param name="File" value="C:\Program Files (x86)\SDL\FileTypeSupportServer\logs\engine.log"/>
    <param name="AppendToFile" value="true"/>
