Error in FCKeditor media folder

[Xagone]

after an install on hostpapa, wb runs perfectly except 1 thing

when in a wysiwyg, trying to input an image, click on "browser" we get this error :
"The server didn't reply with a proper XML data. Please check your configuration."

little search on google found it's a FCKeditor problem, but normaly WB works great with this fonction, is it a hosting problem ?

Hello,

I'm pretty shure that your server uses php 4.4.x. This error occurs only on some special configured servers. Mostly changing to php 5.x solves this error.

they say php5 enabled ?
meaning they have a option for it I guest

[kweitzel]

check with the phpinfo() command ... it should tell you which version is enabled ...

Hello!

Do you have some .htaccess perhaps?
Nevertheless you could use CKEditor http://www.websitebakers.com/pages/admin/admin-tools/ckeditor.php
Well, in fact it's the very same filebrowser, but perhaps (who knows...) the error is gone then.

You should also read the whole thread, maybe you found your solution there too.

nothing works..


we've also tried de-install fckeditor, reinstall
install CKeditor
install tynimce (wouldn't even works!)
...

dont know what to try now, really... problematic!

[Xagone]

i've installed ckfinder alone, last version, and it works.
so it may just be a version problems
but i'm no good with fckeditor... i've messed it a lot over the years, can somebody help in upgrading maybe ckeditor plugin?

[Xagone]

i've debugged it in a bizare way

got to the fckeditor website
download version 2.6.6
unzip it, and replace the "filemanager" folder of the fckeditor wb plugin with the one coming with fckeditor 2.6.6....

annnnnnnnnd it worked...

meaning : filemanager in wb need update!

[Xagone]

here, my updated filemanager


Edit by ruebenwurzel
attached file removed due to security risks

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello,

@votreEspace
Please urgently remove your attached filemanager from the post above. This filemanager you have attached has the biggest security bug we've ever had in WB. With your attached filemanager everyone (yes everyone not only WB users) can upload every files they want to your webserver and take over the control of the whole webserver (not only your webspace, to all webspaces on this server).


Matthias

P.S.
I explicitely do not explain more details here, as i do not want that anyone can make use of this.

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello,

please test the new Version 2.9.5 of FCKEditor Modul wich is based on FCKEditor 2.6.6

Download: http://www.websitebaker2.org/forum/index.php/topic,1670.msg121278.html#msg121278

Hope this fixes your error, if not please post.

Unfortunately, after trying all the solutions on here, I'm still getting the same "the server didn't reply with a proper xml data. please check your configuration" error.

Just like the original poster here, I also just started having these problems after moving sites to HostPapa.com.

As a test to see if fckeditor would work on the server on its own, I downloaded the latest version (from ckeditor.com), uploaded it to the server, and just changed the line in the file, editor/filemanager/connectors/php/config.php

$Config['Enabled'] = false ;

to

$Config['Enabled'] = true ;

It worked fine!

What can we do to fix this problem for the WB version?

[Xagone]

the problem is more hostpapa...
I suggest iweb.com

[avatar8]

It took me many hours, but I finally figured out why I kept getting the "The server didn't reply with a proper XML data. Please check your configuration" error.

This is what I did...

I changed

require_once('../../../../../../config.php');
require_once(WB_PATH .'/framework/class.admin.php');

to

require('../../../../../../config.php');
require(WB_PATH .'/framework/class.admin.php');

That's it! I just replaced require_once with require. Now it works perfectly.

[Xagone]

bizare problem, that means that another section is not properly loaded.

[avatar8]

So far, I've only encoutered this problem with WB on Hostpapa. Maybe it has something to do with some minor setting they have there, but I don't know enough about servers to speculate further.

The important thing is I got it to work, and now we know one more solution for when someone gets that XML data error.

[Xagone]

bizare that my way of repairing on hostpapa is not the same as yours, they may have diffrent settings on their hostings...

[avatar8]

Are you talking about your solution where you replace the filemanager? Yes, that will work, too, but as discussed in this thread, it leaves a big security hole, so it's not a very good solution. Also, it's more complicated. What could be more simple than changing 2 lines in the config.php file? I have 3 WB installations on Hostpapa, and I know for a fact that this fix works. I wouldn't have posted this fix unless I was 100% sure of its integrity after multiple tests.

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello,

I wouldn't have posted this fix unless I was 100% sure of its integrity after multiple tests.

Please test it with mor then one  WSYIWYG sections per page and you will see that the issue of your solution.

Matthias, I'm using multiple WYSIWYG sections for every page, but I haven't encountered any problems yet. At least, I'm not seeing any errors. Most of my pages have at least 3 WYSIWYGs open at once, and the file browser seems to work in all the sections. Is that what you meant?

For many months I have had the same problem with FCKeditor and CKeditor.  My site is on hostpapa also.  I worked on this with Luisehahne a while back and we did not solve it.  The fix in the config file by avatar8 works fine for me, but I wish I knew why.  Hostpapa should be keen to know what their problem is.

I uninstalled my old FCK, deleted cache and cookies, downloaded and installed module version 2.9.5 and edited the config file mentioned by avatar8.  For the first time in a year, the new version of FCK worked when browsing the hostpapa server for image files.  I had been using an older version until now.

Thanks avatar8 and thanks Luisehahne who spent a lot of time helping me out on this silly problem.
