FCKeditor - XML request error when trying to browse server off image link

Post by nickf »

Hello,

I am using FCKeditor 2.6 for the wisywig with CMSms version "1.2.4", name "Greenland" and schema version “29” through Firefox 2 on windows xp.

When I click on the image icon in the FCKeditor toolbar and either click the “Image Info Tab / enter URL and click browse server” or the “Link Tab / URL and click browse server” I receive the following error message:

The server didn’t send back a proper XML response. Please contact your system administrator.
XML request error: Not found (404)

A screen cap is attached.

And also when I click the “Upload Tab, browse and then click send it to the server”, I am unsure where the files go as I can’t find any of the files I uploaded as a test.

So my question is how do I setup FCKeditor to let it know where the image folders are located on the server (eg uploads / images/) – and where on the server the files that are uploaded from FCKeditor should be sent to (eg uploads / images/)?

Thanks in advance for your help.

as there is no answer until now., maybe I can help

there is a configuration file which you might edit.
I suggest to use the standard CMSmadesimple image-path as upload path
the other folders will be created automatically if you have the correct server configuration
other folders might be for files like pdf, mp3 for the flv-player-plugin etc.

check your modules directory, the config.php which you must edit should be here:

modules\FCKeditorX\FCKeditor\editor\filemanager\connectors\php

the configuration which you should edit might be these lines:

Code: Select all

// Path to user files relative to the document root.
$Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/images/' ;

// Fill the following value it you prefer to specify the absolute path for the
// user files directory. Useful if you are using a virtual directory, symbolic
// link or alias. Examples: 'C:\\MySite\\userfiles\\' or '/root/mysite/userfiles/'.
// Attention: The above 'UserFilesPath' must point to the same directory.
$Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = 'E:\server2go\htdocs\cmsmadesimple\images\' ;
Unfortunately there is just an integration of FCKEditor for CMSimple but no real configuration info

as I wrote a documentation on this for integrating that editor in CMSimple, another small CMS, you might read this manual which you an download at my site:

cheers! Connie

Hi all,

I'm having the same problem as nickif.

Here's the pertinent error alert data:

===========================

The server didn't send back a proper XML response. Please contact your system administrator.

XML request error: Internal Server Error (500)

Requested URL:
http://domaininquestion.com/modules/FCK ... 4497914852

===========================

I tried the fix Connie suggested, but no joy. Thought it might be a browser issue, but I get the same error in FF3 and IE7. Can anyone help me with this error?

Thanks for everything....

Still haven't had any luck with this error.

Is there a different forum I should post this to??

I'm trying to get the FCKEditor to insert an image to the page from the uploaded images folder. The folder contents won't display because of this error.

If I remember the image name, I can' input it directly and all is well. Can't see the contents of the folder though.

Also, some of the thumbnails are missing when browsing in the image manager.

Could be related, I guess.


Thanks for all the help!

Have you tried to close the error message window and then refresh the page?...

Since FCK is not a core module, I'm moving this topic to the Modules/Addons forum.
Follow me on twitter
Please post system information from "Extensions >> System Information" (there is a bbcode option) on all posts asking for assistance.

If you can't bother explaining your problem well, you shouldn't expect much in the way of assistance.

I checked the config.php, path is correct.

Any other thoughts on this problem?

Will updating to a new version fix a problem like this?
I'm thinking there's a munged file somewhere, but I don't know.


Thanks for all your help so far!!

Did you check the forum at fckeditor.net?

Or the wiki there? As the editor comes from there... it could be helpful to check there  :-*

Thanks Connie,

Good Idea!

As this was a port of FCKEditor, I only looked here.
