Paths if installed once on server and shared across domains

I'm out of combinations to try in order to get the paths correct for $baseUrl and $baseDir (using php, plesk)

I have ckfinder installed once on the server outside of the root at /var/www/vhosts/foo/centralscripts/admin2/. Then each of our domains run ckeditor & ckfinder from that central location.

Specifically:
/var/www/vhosts/foo/centralscripts/admin2/ckeditor353/
/var/www/vhosts/foo/centralscripts/admin2/ckfinder/

On fckeditor 2.x, using its integrated browser the following worked:

$Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/editor_upload/' ;
$Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"].'/editor_upload/' ;

Also, it would be nice if I could echo the path it is trying to connect to when it tells me Folder not found. Didn't know where to put the echo nor what the variable would be for the echo.

Sigh. I've spent hours and I just realized that $baseUrl is not automatically concatenated with $baseDir so I need to duplicate the path.

The answer to my question is:

$baseUrl = '/editor_upload/'; 
$baseDir = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"].'/editor_upload/';

Thanks for sharing your findings! We're doing exactly the same thing at the moment...

When you added an alias in httpd.conf, was it just a normal alias or scriptalias?

The reason I ask is the alias is working for html files, though not php? Would you be able to share your alias code?

Thanks in advance,

Paul
