| Description |
|
When using typical windows path with backslash for the property magnolia.resources.dir the instance is not properly starting up and the webapp will not be available. To reproduce: Install CE 5.4.3; shut down, change magnolia.resources.dir to existing path as C:\Users\johndoe\magnolia\lightmodules\my-first-website-tutorial and start the container again. Since java core files (e.g. in java.io) tolerate "\", i think magnolia.resources.dir should accept backslash as well. |

Workaround until fix is available: use forward slashes on Windows. |
