FCKeditor - Connectors Tests

[Don]

I am still struggling with FCKeditor giving me a "the server didn't reply with a proper XML data.  Please check your configuration" when I try to browse my files.

I have just discovered the file in:  modules/fckeditor/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/connectors/test.html#

When I run this file I get 404 error messages on the page and in my server log when I choose any Connector other than PHP.  My server runs PHP 5.2.11 on Apache version 2.2.13 (Unix) and open_basedir protection is enabled.

A sample error message in the server log reads:

[Tue Oct 13 00:22:16 2009] [error] [client 207.236.123.45] File does not exist: /home/mysite/public_html/modules/fckeditor/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/connectors/asp/connector.asp

So up to this point I assume my config appears to be OK.

But then, when I choose PHP Connector and click on any of the options on the page, nothing seems to happen.  I cannot create a file or folder or do anything from the menus on this test page.  I get no error message on the page or in my server log either.

Does this give anyone any further clues about what FCK is doing on my site?  I am running FCK ver 2.6.5 Build 23959 from AMASP in WB 2.8.

Thanks,

Don

Hi,

pls download the new revsion from here

http://www.websitebakers.com/pages/admin/admin-tools/fck-editor.php

Before installing this version, pls uninstall the last version from your server. Maybe per FTP to delete the fckeditor folder

Pls inform

Dietmar

Hi Dietmar, I did as suggested and it still will not let me browse files.  This is version 2.6.5 Build 23959, which is the same version I was using before.

I appreciate the work you are doing here, it is quite an interesting challenge.

There was a reference to file permissions in an earlier thread about this.  I have looked at the permissions of this new install.  The Folders under fckeditor are all 755 and all the files in the folders are all 644.  Right?

[Luisehahne]

Maybe that is the problem. My Folder in FCK are all 755

Dietmar

[Don]

I've changed all the files in all the folders to 755, except image files.  It still will not work.

This has got to be something to do with my server, no one else seems to have the problem right now with the new version, or we would hear about it.   

I assume all your files in your fckeditor folder were set to 755?  I wonder why mine were all 644, the folders were 755 though.

[Luisehahne]

Only die directories are 755, files are 644, like the settings in WB. Is there a chance for you to check the error.log on your server?

Dietmar

[Don]

Yeah, I thought so Dietmar.   

OK I have uninstalled it to reset the files back to the correct permissions.

If you go to my first post you will see that I got server errors logged using the test page for other connectors, but no errors when using php, in spite of the fact that it was not working.  There are no errors showing in my server logs when I use FCK to browse files on the site and it doesn't work.  I have just checked out the new install to make sure.

It seems as if it does not even get to the code that will write an error.  Weird.

i just read your first post

when I choose any Connector other than PHP.

there is only php connectors, nothing else.

Dietmar

[Luisehahne]

I just tested FCKeditor on a WB 2.7 and 2.8 with PHP 5.3 and open_basedir enabled. There  were  no problems. All works fine

Has somebody else an idea?

Dietmar

[Don]

Ok Dietmar, we will have to forget this I think.  I will just use the earlier version that works well.  I have an idea it is a server configuration, but they are not too much help either.  It appears to work for everyone else, so it is my setup on the server that is the difference.

So it remains one of life's unsolved mysteries.

Thanks for your time.

Don

So it remains one of life's unsolved mysteries.

Make me not happy, Perhaps you later find the issue, then pls inform

Dietmar

[Don]

Dietmar, sorry to be such a pain to you, but can you take a look at this jpg.  It displays the path within FCK that it is trying to find when I browse files.  It is long and looks kinda weird, is it correct?

[Luisehahne]

Hi,

yes the path is correct. Its the connector path that fck filebrowser need.

Dietmar

[Don]

OK thanks Dietmar.  Just checking   

I am also talking with server, and will let you know if they have any ideas.

[pcwacht]

Did someone check FCKEditor site?
Maybe they know something...

Have fun,
John

[Don]

Heh, I did that and there seems to be more questions than answers on the forum I went to.  Not like here!

[pcwacht]

Here is one solution to a simular problem:

[Luisehahne]

So we have to aks Don, do you use this .htaccess?

Dietmar

[pcwacht]

do n't forget the domainname: http://www.websitebaker2.org/forum/index.php/topic,12797.msg77668.html#msg77668

Have fun,
John

[Don]

I have three of them.


htaccess.txt which reads:
# Example .htaccess wich allows to parse .html as php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

And .htaccess which reads:
AddType text/xml xml

And .htaccessorg which reads:
AddType video/x-flv flv

These 3 are all my root folder and dated 13 and 15 Oct which is when I have been playing with FCK.

I have been trying to translate the post on the WWW, but I am little confused in understanding it.

Could the htaccess files be the cause of all the problem?

Could you explain the WWW connection a little as my German is far worse than your good English.   

[pcwacht]

Check your domainname in config.php
The post says it should be www.domainname.com instead of only domainname.com

Allso try renaming the htaccess files,
htaccess.txt to htaccessold.txt
.htaccess to .htaccesold
The .htaccesorg doesn't do anything

I would try renaming them first as this seems the most obvious answer

If this doesn't help, make sure the line in config.php:
define('WB_URL', 'http://www.somedomain.com');
or if it is in a directory:
define('WB_URL', 'http://www.somedomain.com/somepath');
has the right full domainname of your wb install

Before you change it, make sure you write it down so you can easely go back to current situation

Have fun,
John

Hi John:

Uninstalled and reinstalled fck

I changed the 'WB_URL' to add the www.

Went into edit mode and no source code appeared in editor

So I also changed 'ADMIN_URL' to match

Now I see code in FCKeditor.

I had deleted all the 3 htaccess files as they did not delete using the FCK uninstall from Backend.

The new install created one new .htaccess file in the root folder which appears empty.

So there is a link here between the www's and the htaccess file generated and FCK.

I would guess I am missing somthing from the .htaccess file as I still cannot browse files.

Otherwise FCK does work.

I have no idea how these three items are linked, but to me, they seem to be.  And I did not realize that there were .htaccess files in there either, which did not delete for me on uninstall - so this is why I had 3 of them as I have installed and uninstalled several versions of FCK over the last two weeks.

Don

So you say:

With the www (allso in admin_url and deleting the .htaccess files all seems to work now?
