Well, I have now had a look at providing a login page, and I have got
that working fine, I can log in, and when I'm browsing my site, I can
see the Direct Edit buttons OK.

Unfortunately, whenever I click on one of the Direct Edit buttons, I'm
getting a NullPointerException at
org.opencms.file.CmsResource.getParentFolder(CmsResource.java:433).

I'm editing the content of a site (/sites/sra), and my configuration
has Apache as a reverse proxy removing the /opencms/ prefix. OpenCms
is installed in the Tomcat ROOT context.

Can anyone give me any pointers?
