That is supposed to be there. %2F is URL-encoded / character, which is passed as a query string into connector.php. This is why it is URL encoded.

The problem, however, is not that connector.php cannot find the file, but instead that the web server cannot find connector.php itself. That is, if you take this path

/df/includes/wysiwyg/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/connectors/php/connector.php

and append it to webroot (see your web server configuration for this), the path will be invalid. This is what you need to fix.

/df/includes/wysiwyg/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/connectors/php/connector.php

in the URL in a browser? Also, can you create a text file in the same directory where connector.php is and request it as well?

Did that and yep you are right it is not getting executed, even if i call it directly.
Created a test.php file in same folder and it cannot find that either but it is finding the testdoc.txt file in there.

This is very weird.

Could it have something to do with something in an .htaccess file ?

A.M. wrote:The web server finds connector.php now, so the problem is in path mapping done by connector.php. That is, when connector.php receives a command, it takes the path passed through the URL and appends it to what is configured as a root for uploads. This is where it fails. You can see what directory PHP is trying to access if you debug the GetFolders function in commands.php in the same folder where connector.php is.
