Hi,
I installed CKFinder and I read through the documentation. However, I'm getting a "System Error" popup when I load the standalone PHP sample. The box header says "System Error" and then the gray box is blank. (I'm attaching a screenshot.)
I've made the following adjustments in config.php:
-- I changed the authentication function to return true. This is currently on a dev server so I'm not too worried about security at this point - I'll address that after I get this working.
-- I changed the baseUrl and baseDir. Note that I was getting the same blank "System Error" screen before making this change.
-- I enabled PHP errors and am not getting any errors to show up on the site.
Other things to note:
-- I've verified the baseUrl and baseDir are correct. I've tried paths and absolute URLs.
-- All folders exist and are CHMOD to 0777.
-- I verified all files were uploaded to the ckfinder directory.
-- I've also verified that the htaccess file and other security settings weren't involved -I've disabled nearly every security setting on my dev box.
-- For what it is worth, CKEditor works great on the exact same dev box and despite all the changes I've made to the dev box.
Why am I getting this system error? Any ideas on how to correct? Or, hec, even figure out where this is coming from? Very puzzling.
Thanks for the help!

Re: Unknown System Error Message
this probably is error in your config file (missing semicolon or something like that). Please look at errors in your server logs and/or send me your config file in private message.
Re: Unknown System Error Message
By default CKFinder for PHP has these two lines commented out:
Could you uncomment them and check what CKFinder will return this time?
If it still returns a blank page, then as mkesicki suggested, you should check your server logs.
Probably there is a PHP error in the configuration file, e.g. a missing semicolon etc.
