Installation Problem

Hi,

I just dl'd CKFInder & installed it. Changed the config file & tried to run both ckfinder.html and ckfinder.asp

The html file partially loads showing the background & the left pane header but nothing else. The XML error message is:

Server response:
Status: 500
Response text:

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0131'
Disallowed Parent Path
/ic_artdata/ckfinder/core/connector/asp/connector.asp, line 51
The Include file '../../../config.asp' cannot contain '..' to indicate the parent directory.


The asp file gives a totally blank screen & no error message.

Here are the config settings I changed:
....
CheckAuthentication = true
....
CKFinder_Debug = true
....
baseUrl = "http://mil-tach.com.com/ic_data/ckfinder/userfiles/"
....
baseDir = "C:\Inetpub\mil-tach\ic_artdata\ckfinder\userfiles\"
....

Running IE7, IIS V6, Aspnet 2

Thanks

Re: Installation Problem

That's due to a security setting in IIS that doesn't allow to use a INCLUDE FILE="../path"

You can change that setting if you have access to the IIS control panel as explained in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B332117

If you don't have access or don't want to change that, then open the /ic_artdata/ckfinder/core/connector/asp/connector.asp go to line 51 and change the
<! -- #INCLUDE file="../../../config.asp" -->
with
<! -- #INCLUDE VIRTUAL="/ic_artdata/ckfinder/config.asp" -->

Also, that baseUrl seems wrong, I guess that it should be
baseUrl = "http://mil-tach.com.com/ic_artdata/ckfinder/userfiles/"
but that's not part of the first problem, as it should allow it to work, but the generated URL would be wrong.

Re: Installation Problem

Yet another arcane setting deep in the minutia.

Thanks!
