There's really not enough information here.

What was the install process? Did you install the fckeditor yourself or was it already on the server? Are you admin? You may be trying to access a directory where fckeditor is not actually housed. Or it may be in a directory which is inaccessible to the web server. That is, your media directory can be anywhere on the server, because it is being read by a php script. But the html files have to be within the scope of the web server.

If you know that fckeditor is in the directory specified in the error message, and it's accessible to the web server, then check to make sure that the user you log in as has read permission for this directory/file and if not, then you will have to change it. Also, check to make sure that you don't have an .htaccess file blocking your access to this directory.

The original poster m7d_mh didn't give enough information about his/her situation. It just looked as though for some reason the fckeditor's files were not inside the web server's directory space.

If you are getting the same message or similar, what are the messages? where do you have your fckeditor files in relation to the web space on your server? where do you have your media directory in relation to the web directory? The web directory is the document root, which is the directory that immediately follows the domain name:

http://www.example.com/my_document_root/


Theoretically, the media directory should be able to be anywhere on the computer because it is accessed by a script, not by a web page. It's possible that ISP's may restrict access to directories not in your web space but most likely if that's true you wouldn't be able to write to these directories either. Never having run a shared server myself, I don't have enough information.

I've been able to put images and embedded videos by going to the source element and editing though there. Also I can manipulate them with by shifting the boarders in the text zone. The embed videos are from external source (mainly youtube) but I host my own Images and haven't had problems with that.

I'm guessing that your having problems with applying images in FCK editor but also thinking you might be tiring to place an image into the editor itself for display reasons. Could you clarify? as far as the 404 error that would be a url pathway issue.
