CK finder Config help please

So I am using CK Editor with a new CMS system easypeasy as for configuring CKFinder to work well with it ... I am at the point of almost giving up and I need help - please. And no I am not new to PHP etc (at least 5 years+ exp.).

Whichever method I try CKFinder will not/cannot find the directory - and all I am doing is trying to config for my sandbox - not even live - so I can check that it is working. With most other config's that I do it is very easy to update the urls etc and point to dirs. But not CKFinder. Sorry I find it frustrating. Reading this forum I see I am not alone.

What ever URL I put in $baseUrl and $baseDir the folder remains "not found". Help please.

My structure is quiet simple:

http://127.0.1/appfolder/app-includes/classes/CKFinder/

My images are in

http://127.0.1/appfolder/app-content/uploads/

even using images in the CKFinder /userfiles/ I get no folder activity (with or without a folder called Images).

Help please Thanks

Re: CK finder Config help please

Which browser are you using? I am a new user of ckfinder and ckeditor and I can say that if you play enough with the basedir and and url structure you get it eventually. Also check that you have given permissions to create folders.
BUT
It only works for me in Chrome and Firefox not in IE. In IE I get a js error and no folders listed. I know they are there obviously.
Anyone got any suggestion as to where to look please?

Good point about using chrome within IE but unfortunately I cant persuade my users to change their allegiance to IE nor to install stuff like chrome inside it.

Also I did not know you could use Firebug (Lite) in IE which is a useful tip thank you, but unfortunately it will not launch with CKfinder because the ckfinder window in shown with the url bar protected. I am sure it must be easy to change that but I will have to find the place where it is launched.

Thanks for the help though
