XML request error: Internal Server Error (500)

Hello. I'm having the same problem....did you get a resolution?????

I do have the same problem..works fine locally but not on live server.

Hi Neocorps,

We bought the same mailing software as you (I think! - mailing list manager pro) and had the same problem with the "internal server error". I actually found your post when looking for a solution. In any case I resolved our problem by just fiddling with chmod permissions.

I don't know if this will work for you, but if your host is using Linux and you're using PHP it just might.

1) Extract zip files to server
2) "chmod -R 755" from a shell, or do recursive chmod using something like Filezilla for 755
3) Just install


That worked for me. The instructions said use chmod 777 for some specific directories, but that didn't work on my host, probably for security reasons.

I will also add it looks like you extracted your files into the wrong directory on the server - the instructions clearly state you need to use the directory: mailing-manager , installed in the root of your server.

Hope this helps!

Cheers

I had this same problem but was able to fix it by modifying the string to the connector. My problem was caused by URL rewriting in .NET

What I think that happens is that when you try to insert an image, FCKeditor loads a connector file to find out where the where the 'Image' directory is located.

If FCKeditor can't find the connector file, eg. connector.php, it displays either a 404 or 500 error.

The key is the value of the Connector parameter in the URL.

In the example above the URL is:
mail.neocorps.com/tools/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/browser.html?Type=Image&Connector=connectors/php/connector.php

I can't see how FCKeditor can find connector.php using a URL of connectors/php/connector.php

I think that it should be something like:
mail.neocorps.com/tools/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/browser.html?Type=Image&Connector=tools/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/connectors/php/connector.php

Hope this helps someone out.

Hi I am also getting the same error.
But I have used this fckeditor in ASP.net I am setting all the url values for image browsing it is working fine in ASP.net.
But when i configure it through HTML page it doesn't seems working It displays server error.

If any one knows what is the problem and how to configure it in html via javascript then please let me know.

Thanks,

I had the same problem:
FCKEDITOR in MY CMS SYSTEM.
Server of installation: LINUX
Error on FILE SERVER BROWERS with FCK

I try to access to the conector.php directly to view test.
http://www.myweb... /fckeditor/editor/filemanager/connectors/php/connector.php
and I got the 500 server error.

I change the permissions of that file to 644 and try to access again, after restar to 755 and when I check:
http://www.myweb... /fckeditor/editor/filemanager/connectors/php/connector.php
The browser gives and blank page (NOT 500 ERROR) and FCKEDITOR WORKS FINE.

I suggest you try to change the CHMOD of connector.php to limited permision and after to 755 permision to unlock the file.

I don't know why this problem exists but I could solve it by doing next:

Change in the config.js file the line
FCKConfig.StylesXmlPath = FCKConfig.EditorPath + 'fckstyles.xml' ;
with
FCKConfig.StylesXmlPath = FCKConfig.EditorPath + 'fckstyles.txt' ;

And rename the file fckstyles.xml to fckstyles.txt

Doing that, I will work.

Greatings!

hi everyone
I have the same issue with aspx
I have this in fckconfig
var _FileBrowserLanguage = 'aspx' ;
var _QuickUploadLanguage = 'aspx' ;
I have this in web.config
<SafeControls>
--<SafeControl Assembly="FredCK.FCKeditorV2, Version=2.6.3.22451, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=4f86767c9b519a06" Namespace="FredCK.FCKeditorV2" TypeName="*" Safe="True" />

<appSettings>
<add key="FCKEditor:BasePath" value="~/FCKEditor/" />
<add key="FCKEditor:UserFilesPath" value="/mysite/FCKEditor/editor/images/Repositorio" />
</appSettings>

when I use explorer for LinkUpload
a pop says "The server didn't reply with a proper XML data. Please check your configuration."
I see the command line with firebug and says
could not load type 'FredCK.FCKeditorV2.FileBrowser.Connector'
I have a bin folder with FredCK.FCKeditorV2.dll in FCKEditor folder
I thing, is a correct ubication, because the editor works fine, but file manager not.

when I use the test.html is the same!!!!

I use framework v2 or v3.5, and is the same.
in windows Xp, 2003 server or 2008 server and is the same too.

Who can help me ?
I find, and a lot of people have the same problem.

thanks

Solved!!!!!!!!!!

I put FredCK.FCKeditorV2.dll outside of fckeditor folder
in the bin folder OF THE APPLICATION.
then I get a new error with SessionState
only set true EnableSessionState in pages secction of config file
and now I finally have filebrowser

thanks

I bought an application called mail-manager-pro and i installed it in my server, i was creating a newsletter and it had this FCK editor, when i wanted to upload a picture i got this error:



I dont know what to do about it, i thought it was the permissions or something like that but, when i installed the software it's supposed to do everything by itself.

i was checking this file on my server: www\mail\tools\fckeditor\editor\filemanager\browser\default\connectors\php\config.php

and this is what it is inside:

?>

Any ideas?, i need this application working and support from the company i bought this software is really lacking the interest in fixing this. and its been a month since i reported the problem.

Thanx!.


/////// EDIT

I uploaded the new version of FCK editor, version that i just downloaded!, and now i get a different error!
