XML Request Error 404 with ColdFusion CFCs

I've been encountering the same error message over and over when tryig to open a file browser (like the image one) when using FCKeditor 2.2 through ColdFusion's CFC connector.

I've gotten this thing to work fine when using the Javascript connector in previous versions of FCKeditor, but this is my first time using CFCs to call it. Anybody encounter (and then defeat) this problem, or have any insights? I've checked my directories a thousand times and tried many ways of setting the user files path, but I get the vague feeling the problem lies in browser.html's inability to access the ColdFusion connector.

Did you follow the step by step installation instructions I wrote on the Wiki page?

You have to check you server log files to see what the actual file is that gives the 404 error.

I followed you Wiki instructions. Didn't do a dang thing.

I've been searching all over for answers to this one and have no answers.

The Test connector works great. However, the problem I'm having is that I'll select the Insert/Edit Image button, then select the Browse Server button. The Browse file comes up, but only to have another pop up telling me "XML Request Error: Object Not Found(404)."

So what's causing this one? The Test Connector works, but when used in the Editor, it doesn't.

This is extremely frustrating! I didn't have this much trouble with the previous version.

Any ideas outside of your Wiki?

Thanks,
Red

Sorry for my frustration.

I will check it. I had to step away from it to clear my head.

I'm in the process of redoing the installation after my frustration. I've done it several times, but thought a fresh start would be good.

What would be the typical problem causing this during a standard install? I can repeat the problem every time so far.

Thanks so much for your help.

OK, here's an update.

It's now working.

Thanks Didgiman for your Wiki article. It did indeed help.

The problem was the new FCKeditor.js file I downloaded. I thought I was being smart by downloading and using the updated JS file. It just breaks everything.

So, I went through the Install instructions, the ColdFusion instructions and the Wiki information. It appears to work on my local CFMX 6.1 Server.

Now to deploy and test on a live CFMX 7 Server.

I'll keep this thread updated as to my progress

This worked for me.....

It turns out you have to create a blank application.cfm and onrequestend.cfm in the folder where connector.cfm is. Phew, what a nightmare (solved!).
