Problem with file upload

I'm having a problem with uploading files through FCKeditor. Every time I open the browser I get this message:

Error creating folder: "redirect:/index.php/image" (can't create redirect: directory)

It appears to be connected with my .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
 
RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css)$ index.php

I use this because it's simply the way my framework work (for seo url's and stuff like that). As you can see, everything is redirect to index.php except for files and folders that actually exists. If I remove the code, the uploader works fine.

Does anyone have an idea about what I should add to my .htaccess file to get the uploader working?

Re: Problem with file upload

I've been having this difficulty too. Here's how I solved it.

FIrst I tried increasing Apache's mod-rewrite logging like this:

        RewriteLog      /var/log/apache2/rewrite.log
        RewriteLogLevel 3

Then I noticed that the userfiles/ folder was being subjected to redirection (I have some similar rules to yours. So I inserted a new rule ahead of the troublesome ones:

  RewriteRule  ^userfiles/.*         -  [L]

This tells Apache that when it gets a request for userfiles/, it should skip all further rule processing and handle the userfiles/ request as-is. That seemed to fix it.

Don't forget to put your RewriteLogLevel back to 0 when you've done with it.

Re: Problem with file upload

Thanks for this!
My CMS redirects everything so I was having the same problem.
I discovered that the problem related only to creating the directory so I just created it manually:
userfiles/images
was what it wanted. After that, everything was fine.

Re: Problem with file upload

I'm using FCKEditor with Drupal. I got this error and googled it, landing me here.

My .htaccess at the root is the standard Drupal one with :

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^files/.* - [L]
RewriteRule ^userfiles/.* - [L]

etc etc....

I put both files and userfiles there as I tried files first (which is where Drupal is trying to access I think)...

It isn't working.. Same error. Any alternative advice?

Re: Problem with file upload

This error message is mentioned in the file TROUBLESHOOTING.txt which is distributed with the Drupal wrapper module for FCKeditor. Here is the suggestion from that file:

This error appears when trying to use the built-in file browser in FCKeditor and is caused by invalid $Config['UserFilesAbsolutePath'] in FCKeditor configuration file. The reason of such message may be tricky, it usually means that you didn't follow the instructions from README.txt strictly (see "How to enable the file browser" section).

Usually it is enough to check these two things:
make sure that filemanager.config.php is included in the FCKeditor configuration file exactly in the place where the instruction says
uncomment $cookie_domain variable in settings.php and set it to the right value
