Overview

Your Code42 environment maintains log files and software resources in different locations on different platforms. If you need to access logs, identity files, and other essential files and folders for troubleshooting, refer to this guide to find them.

Code42 server file structure

Linux

For these examples, the Code42 server was installed as root in an Ubuntu environment using the Code42 server installer's default options. File paths in your environment may vary.

Live database /opt/proserver/db
Log files /var/log/proserver
Requested Code42 app logs /var/opt/proserver/client-logs
App support /var/opt/proserver
Automatic secure keystore file /var/opt/proserver/ksp
Database dumps /var/opt/proserver/dumps
Sanitized database dumps /var/log/proserver
Automatic secure keystore dumps /var/opt/proserver/kspDumps
Default store point /var/opt/proserver/backupArchives/CrashPlanArchive_Default
Seed location for default store point /var/opt/proserver/backupArchives/CrashPlanArchive_SEED

Windows

The Windows installation folder can vary based on the architecture (32- or 64-bit) of the Code42 server and the operating system. If you installed 32-bit Code42 server software on a 64-bit Windows operating system, replace C:\Program Files with C:\Program Files (x86) in the paths listed in this article. See Considerations For Windows for more information.

Considerations for Windows

This article assumes that the architecture of the Code42 server software or Code42 app (32- or 64-bit) matches the architecture of the Windows operating system. If you installed 32-bit software on a 64-bit Windows operating system, replace C:\Program Files with C:\Program Files (x86) in the paths listed in this article.

Software Architecture Operating System Architecture Software Install Location
32-bit 32-bit C:\Program Files
64-bit 64-bit C:\Program Files
32-bit 64-bit C:\Program Files (x86)
