Workaround for: Unable to unlock resources, because root folder is locked
From OpenCms Wiki
Problem
I changed properties of the vfs root folder "/" with the source search feature. Now all resources are locked and I am not able to unlock them - even as Admin user. I get the following error message:
The following resources were not unlocked: Error unlocking resource "/shared/" by current user "Admin" - Unable to unlock "/shared/", the lock is inherited from a parent folder. Error unlocking resource "/sites/" by current user "Admin" - Unable to unlock "/sites/", the lock is inherited from a parent folder. Error unlocking resource "/system/" by current user "Admin" - Unable to unlock "/system/", the lock is inherited from a parent folder.
Solution (Workaround)
If someone ever has that problem, create a JSP in the VFS put in the following code, save it and call (click) it:
<%@page session="false" buffer="none" import="org.opencms.jsp.CmsJspActionElement" %> <% CmsJspActionElement jsp=new CmsJspActionElement(pageContext,request,response); jsp.getCmsObject().unlockResource("/"); %>
