For example:  /ps/woconfig/myproject/psml/ mytype/document.css If PageSeeder fails to start on Linux after upgrade enter the following commands and then restart pageseeder: chown -R pageseeder /opt/pageseeder/webapp chown -R pageseeder /opt/pageseeder/ps-publisher Manually move any other `woconfig` files, such as shared CSS or images, to the following folder and adjust any URLs that reference them: config/template/\[project\]/style After upgrading, check the Recent logs on the Admin Console page for warnings about renamed files.
