FCKEditor which connector to use?

Hi-
I am getting the xml server error 500 everytime i try to use the Image Uploader File Browser.
I think my paths are correct in the connector files, i tried with the config.asp and now i am trying with the config.php file (designated in fckconfig.js file)
I can't get rid of this error, not sure which connector to be using, i am about to give up and go with Mambo.
Could there be a permissions problem? Help??
Any ideas or help?
Thanks in advance-

RE: FCKEditor which connector to use?

1) get a "fresh" download now. I recommend this for a PHP connector.

2) Create your own uploadable directories:
/home/.../public_html/yourpath/Image
/home/.../public_html/yourpath/File
/home/.../public_html/yourpath/Flash
/home/.../public_html/yourpath/Media

3) CHMOD 777 them yourself. Avoid letting FCKeditor create them for you. If FCKeditor has created them delete them and create and CHMOD them yourself.

Don't forget to chmod 777 /home/.../public_html/yourpath/ also!!!!!!!

4) Don't forget to configure BOTH:
FCKeditor/editor/filemanager/upload/php/config.php
and
FCKeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/connectors/php/config.php

5) Do this in BOTH:

$Config['Enabled'] = true ;
$Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/yourpath/' ;
$Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = '/home/.../public_html/yourpath/' ;

6) Do not forget this in fckconfig.js
var _FileBrowserLanguage = 'php' ;
var _QuickUploadLanguage = 'php' ;
Or it will NEVER work

7) God help you if your server is run in safe mode!

Oh, yes ... please use this file to test your uploading:

FCKeditor/editor/filemanager/upload/test.html
