Where do I find the OWS log files?
Does OWS write log files for troubleshooting and debugging? Where do I find them?

Re: Where do I find the OWS log files?
The log files of OWS are located in a hidden directory below your user home directory:
where <user-home> depends on your operating system.
By default this should be
Code: Select all
<user-home>/.config/icedtea-web/log
By default this should be
- <root>\Users\<your-username> (Windows 10)
- /Users/<your-username> (MacOS)
- /home/<your-username>/ (Linux)

Re: Where do I find the OWS log files?
When reporting a technical issue with OWS, it is helpful to attach the logs to be able to pinpoint the problem quickly.I am unfortunately unable to find a config folder in the user directory
The logs for OpenWebStart can be found in directory "<User Home>/.config/icedtea-web/logs".
In case you are using System Level configuration on Windows, the location of the .config directory is specified in deployment.config file in C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment directory.

More details on System Configuration can be found in the OWS Guide - System Configuration.
