Browse server returns XML request error: Not found (404)

Thank you for the reply, I have looked at the log files and nothing really helps, here is an example of a logfile entry from when clicking the "Browse Server" button.

nn.nn.nn.nn - - [02/Jan/2009:17:05:36 +0100]
"GET /df/includes/wysiwyg/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/connectors/php/connector.php?Command=GetFoldersAndFiles&Type=Image&CurrentFolder=%2F
HTTP/1.1" 404 2310 xxxxxxxxx.xx.xx "http://xxxxxxxxx.xx.xx/df/includes/wysiwyg/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/browser.html?Type=Image&Connector=connectors/php/connector.php"

As you can see the GET string has the %2F on the end of it.

And this is using the test.html trying to create a folder called TESTTESTTEST.

nn.nn.nn.nn - - [02/Jan/2009:17:12:14 +0100]
"GET /df/includes/wysiwyg/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/connectors/php/connector.php?Command=CreateFolder&Type=File&CurrentFolder=&NewFolderName=TESTTESTTEST

On both case I am using the PHP connector.
On the test.html the current folder is a /

The nn.nn.nn.nn is my ip address and the xxxxxxxxx.xx.xx is my domain name in the above.

Do I need the "upload_tmp_dir" set for this to work I seem to have read that somewhere, if that is the case then I can't use FCKeditor as it has been set to "no value" and the server host will not enable it.

I have used other programs in Dragonfly that upload to the server OK, and also another editor that also worked for browsing and getting images but FCKeditor seems much more to my and user liking. The editor works fine, it's just the browsing (so can't download) and uploading that I can't seem to get right.

Any ideas ?

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.

Thanks for the reply again, but that is the correct path, I have checked this many times.
This is my full path and that is where connector.php resides
/kunden/homepages/28/d80068194/htdocs/justfloyd/df/includes/wysiwyg/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/browser
/default/connectors/php/connector.php

The above is all on one line for some reason when entered as one line it chops part of it off


Here is a picture from my FTP program showing the path to connector.php




The DOCUMENT_ROOT = /kunden/homepages/28/d80068194/htdocs/justfloyd

I have also just downloaded the latest version and that worked straight off with out any problem, but not sure how to intergrate that into DragonflyCMS.

/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?

If I use the above in my URL it does not find it, obviously with http:// and my domain name in front
But I have created a testdoc.txt file and same directory and it does find it.
/df/includes/wysiwyg/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/connectors/php/testdoc.txt

Very strange, I might delete the whole lot and upload it again and see what happens.

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 ?

Well I have got it working.
I deleted everthing and uploaded again.
Set all config options.
Done the test, all worked OK.

... Except that when it returns from the selection of the file the "Image Properties" does not display the image as can be seen from picture below.


If I was to press the "OK" button the image does not appear in my editor just the red cross.

If I put the http and domain in front of the URL it is OK.

I have seen this on another post somewhere but he has not had a reply either.

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.
