Failed to validate the baseDir setting

Thanks for the speedy reply, i have looked at that and right at the very end block it states this;

error creating a folder in the baseDir path

and this one too;

error number: 424, message: Object required

So it looks like i maybe right and it is indeed a permission problem, are there any tutorials/instruction on how to set this up in ii7.5 as i have search and cannot find anything remotely helpful as i am new to this platform am used to iis6 which was far simpler to do this very task.

Again many thanks for any help or links you can pass my way.

cheers...........Ed

Many thanks again for your speedy replies, i will check this out tomorrow morning now. Had enough of it today and i will report back what i come across etc then.

Just tried the new wizard tool, again thanks for that (sorry been mad busy with another issue) and it appears to get stuck at the second test with no errors or signs of error.......hum ??

am gonna see if i can figure that out but if this is a known problem then please advice how to fix and i can get to the bottom of the original problem. The only thing i had to do is sort the parent paths issue as the testing server does not allow those, and that was all as i did with the original wizard but this gets stuck.....

again thanks for any assistant as if i get this working it looks possible i have been given the go ahead to buy this as it looks amazing and just what we need.

cheers............Ed

Hi again,

well the original problem i was having is that the CKFinder app cannot find "the image manipulation object" and after searching the internet i found that the wizard was designed for this purpose of correctly configuring the app to sort this very issue.

All was going swimming as i waded through each error fixing them with the original wizard but then it or i got stuck with the error originally above "failing to validate the baseDir setting" with the errros in the more info as listed above.

So after i setup the parent paths again in the new files in the new version of the wizard you recomended to use it doesnt get past the first block with the hello message.......strange i know as it doesn't even show the next helo block with the includer path in it. nore are there any additional error messages or even script errors when debugged etc ??

our testing servers are not accessible externally and my manager will not allow untested or development apps on our live servers so dont know what to suggest other than screen shots, either hear or through the pm system hear.

cheers for any further help as i feel i was getting close to this working.

One more question to add, is there a version that includes the editor included/integrated as i have managed to get the editor version working without problems and we just needed the extra functions that has too.

again thanks for any further assistance on this problem.

cheers...........Ed

i renamed the original wizard that i had to wizard-old and ran those files and i came back to my original problem as in the title, as that one gets to test eleven as below here;

Hi i have used fiddler and the ie9 debug console and it appears that the scripts after are not executing and the load helo.asp page is the only thing to load.

Will dig further and post back.

Hi again, i have sent you a PM with further details in it.

Many thanks for that latest wizard as it has got me now a good way through a few errors and a bit of research on how to fix them, but i am at least back to where i was before i posted this question, and once i get past this issue i think i may be sorted, well until the next issue.

Also i wondered if anyone has picked up on your demo site has issues with IE9 and crashes the web page when any of the popup boxes runs, though if run in compat mode they run as expected, i am sure this has been picked up before now by someone. Is there a fix for this or something i should do whilst i am delving into this application.

again a massive thanks for all the help so far.

cheers................Ed
