Can't get CKFinder working. Is it possible with this setup?

I've been trying the CKEditor for Drupal demo, and unfortunately I'm unable to get CKFinder working.

I admin a server that has quite a few Drupal sites, and I use the Aegir hosting system to manage them. Aegir automatically generates the settings.php file for each site. The settings.php that it generates does not contain a hard-coded $cookie_domain setting. As such, CKFinder does not work because the setting is not there.

If I manually edit settings.php and add a $cookie_domain line, CKFinder DOES work, but only temporarily. Aegir eventually overwrites the file and I'm back to where I started.

Is there any possible workaround to get CKFinder working in this scenario? Perhaps an alternate method to feed it the $cookie_domain variable? Or is it just not possible to use it alongside Aegir?

Thanks Sebstefanov. Saw that thread, but unfortunately none of the fixes mentioned there work for me. Most of them involve manual edits to settings.php, which isn't possible when running Aegir.

I've tried adding a "local.settings.php," as mentioned on the very last post in the thread you linked, but still no luck.

Is there any way to just hard-code the $cookie_domain into CKFinder somehow?
