I've mentioned previously this wizard in other threads, but there were some extra things that I wanted to add before announcing it in a more official way.
Now I think that it can help most of the people wanting to use the asp version to do it quickly and with some extra hints after everything is working in order to get more security. So even if you think that you have CKFinder working and everything is OK, I think that it can be useful to give this script a try to find out what it tells you.
The steps would be
- Download CKFinder (the ASP version)
- Install it in your server
- Now it's where the wizard kicks in:
wizard for CKFinder 2.3.1
wizard.zip for CKFinder 2.3
wizard.zip for CKFinder 2.2
(download it from the attachment, this is always the latest version). - Extract its content on your ckfinder folder, and load the default.html file in your browser.
- The scripts will run and they will tell you anything that you must change to get everything perfect.
- When you have finished, delete the wizard folder.
The script has been able to fix all the problems that I've been told so far, but if you get any unexpected error, then please send me a PM with the info so I can try to understand what's going on and generate a proper explanation about the problem and how to fix it.
If you have any suggestion about other tests that could be added or how to improve anything in this script just reply to this message.
Of course, I'm also interested to know if the scripts have been useful to you.
thanks for the wizard script. I ran it and solved every error, but the following:
The file has failed.

My web host won't grant permissions to that folder. Is there a way round this?>
I can't currently 'browse' thumbnails etc, though I can upload
You can workaround the problem by using the CKFinderTempPath variable in the config.asp and putting the same value in the provided web.config file. There are some comments there explaining how to use it.
Anyway, I'm gonna try to update the first post with an adjusted wizard that will try to work also in your situation, you can try it to check if now it works for you and it does suggest you the modification that I've explained.
I've followed the instructions and ran the wizard, after adjusting the security settings, setting up a temporary directory etc, the wizard runs, with no errors but stops after test 22 (i.e. 22 out of 37)
I'm still getting a error when uploading an image "It was not possible to complete the request. (Error Error returned in call to Asp.Net)"
Also, I'm not sure I really understand what CKFINDER should be showing when I view my images directory. This directory is already populated with images, and I get a list of thumbnails, but they are all showing a question mark.
If I download the image they are correct.
Any ideas?
Regards and thanks
Pete
if the asp.net part is configured properly then you should see the thumbnails just like the demo site instead of question marks.
Regards
Pete
That way you can send me any information without risking your privacy.
I try to install CKFinder with CKeditor, but i have some errors like : Unable to find an image manipulation component. I download the wizard script ans solve some errors.
But for some, I don't know what to do.
The asp.net test file failed.

Maybe because my server execute only .asp3 files and not .net files.
Someone can help me please. Thanks.
In the response it shows that it has asp.net installed, but I don't know if there's some restriction in your configuration to use .aspx pages
All of your web site are on ASP3. Is there any issue to prevent .net test ? And finally see why when i launch CKFinder i got the error message.
Of course that means that no image manipulation will be done by CKFinder, but you won't get the warning message.
Now i get this error :

It talk about image manipulation component, same thing when a launch CKFinder. But We can see X-Powered-By: ASP.NET in the returned header :/
Why did I get this error... ASP is the evil !!
I continue to seek a solution with my concern.
1. Adjust the configuration of your server so the aspx pages work correctly
2. Set the image component in config.asp as "None"
Usually people opts to do (1) and that's the point where this wizard can provide the hints about what needs to be done through several tests; but as you say that you don't wanna do it, then your option is to disable the handling of images by CKFinder.
Now need to configure
I manage to list my pictures in the new window after click on explorer server. But when i do a right click on a picture and choose `see`, a new window is openning but with a wrong URL.
Example :
my picture is located in //serveur/name-site/fpdb/piture-name.jpg
in the new window : //serveur/fpdb/piture-name.jpg
Vars that indicate the path of the picture is baseUrl and baseDir ? If i can see the list of pictures, why i can't see one picture in a bigger format than listing ?
baseUrl was like that ../../../../../fpdb/ or now it is like this /fpdb/
it works very well. Listing and view is ok ^^
Thanks again for your help ^^
Thanks for your help in the forums, the truth that I could solve a lot about the integration of the CKEditor CKFinder.
But I've been stuck using the wizard, I got to fix several bugs, but the latter is not.
This is a screenshot of the problem:
the problem is:
The test file has failed.

Thank you very much for the information and support friend.
I'm trying to use CKFinder in my application but couldn't get it to work. The installation instructions state "Copy the distribution files to your web server inside the /ckfinder/ folder or any other folder in your web site."
What are the distribution files? I downloaded buy cialis the zip file which contains a lot of folders. Am I to copy the contents of the "core" folder? I tried that keep getting XML request error. I posted a question on their forums. It's been almost two days now and there's no response.
This is clearly a bad sign for support. Can anyone either give me some pointers or recommend a good HTML editor that comes with a file/image browser that I can also use without the editor.

See CKEditor 4.x docs, CKEditor 3.x docs, CKFinder docs for help. CKEditor general FAQ is useful, too!

I guess that there's something strange in the way that you have configured the paths and it's entering into an infinite loop, or there's something special in your setup that makes that function fail.
Unfortunately it seems that another of the forums features that has been removed with the upgrade is the ability of sending personal messages, so if you don't want to post the info about your configuration here you'll have to send me an email to amla70, in gmail and of course dot com.
It had commented out CKFinder_Config.Add "Thumbnails", Thumbnails in config.asp because I don't want thumbnails created (but I do want thumbnails to show up when browsing the server). After I took out the comments the wizard finished all tests with no problems. I'll have to read the docs to figure out why thumbnails don't appear but filenames and sizes do.
Thanks for providing that info about what's the cause of your error.
But now I don't understand your next comment, You want thumbnails while browsing the folders but you don't want those thumbnails to be saved?
Creating a thumbnail takes some CPU, and specially in cases where there are lots of images forcing them to be recreated on the fly for each request would be a performance nightmare.
