Hi there.
In the config.php, if I write :

// Root path for file manager
// use absolute path of directory i.e: '/var/www/folder' or $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/folder'
**$root_path = '/';**

To have access to have access to all directories ; i have the following error :
Root path "" not found!

how i can fix this ?
Thank you for your advice.
Regards

@OursBlanc42 If you really need that, you can modify the source code.

Change this line:

$root_path = rtrim($root_path, '\\/');

To this:

$root_path = $root_path != '/' ? rtrim($root_path, '\\/') : '/';

That works perfectly for me.
