When you launch a workspace-server session, you might receive the following error:

Normally, this error indicates that the user ID does not have Write permission to the operating-system path to which the logs are written.

To discover the location to which your LOGCONFIGLOC command points and where Read and Write permissions should be added for users:

1. Navigate to the sasv9.cfg configuration file that resides in the following Microsoft Windows location (or the UNIX equivalent): SAS-configuration-directory\SASApp\WorkspaceServer. You should see a line similar to the following, which tells you where the LOGCONFIGLOC is stored:
   
   /* Set options */ -logconfigloc "SAS-configutation-directory\Lev1\SASApp\WorkspaceServer\logconfig.xml"

   Then, you can open the logconfig.xml and determine the location to which the logs are written. The location is similar to the following:

   <param name="FileNamePattern" value="SAS-configuration-directory\Lev1\SASApp\WorkspaceServer\Logs\SASApp_WorkspaceServer_%d_%S{hostname}_%S{pid}.log"/ >

   In this example, the logs are written to SAS-configuration-directory\Lev1\SASApp\WorkspaceServer\Logs.

2. Verify that the user ID that receives the error message has Read and Write permissions to this path. All users that need to be able to launch workspace-server sessions should have Read and Write permissions to this path.
