Absolute URL's

Hi All,

I am having trouble uploading files to an absolute path.

CKFinder default is to upload to userfiles/userimages but i would like to use an absolute path such as: http://www.example.com/userfiles/userimages because my website is scattered in different folders so the relative paths sometimes don't work.

When i do change the path to absolute i get the following error when uploading:
"It was not possible to complete the request due to file system permission restrictions."

I have checked file permissions etc. and it all should be working perfectly.

Can anyone shed some light on my problem??

Thanks,
Scott.

Re: Absolute URL's

CKFinder can work with absolute urls, all you need to do is to set the correct baseDir in such case.

Re: Absolute URL's

Thank you for the reply.

I have now managed to make the absolute URL's work; however it seems to work fine in Mozilla Firefox but not in Internet Explorer.

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Re: Absolute URL's

What is your configuration at this moment?
What exactly doesn't work?

Re: Absolute URL's

It is quite a strange error really.

Basically when you upload an image it will come up with a red box with a cross (as if the images doesn't exist)

Even when I navigate to the image URL from my web browser I get 404 not found.

It works fine when I use a relative path in the config file but I need this to work with absolute URL's as there are many different folders in my website.

Any ideas?

Re: Absolute URL's

Paste $baseDir, $baseUrl, explain what is your domain name, where is exactly the folder on the server, where files should be uploaded and I will try to help you configure it properly.

Re: Absolute URL's

The only suspicious thing here would be the "~" character.
$baseUrl and $baseDitr look fine.
Just to make sure: the URL to an image that is in the URL field is correct, right?
