baseurl / images display as alternate text only \"\"

Hi there,

Ive been using ckeditor on my old fedora 8 server and works like a treat. (older php version)

Im not sure why but I have a brand new server with the latest php / sql and images only display as

\"\"

Images upload fine & even preview correctly.

im not an advanced user so im unsure how to fix this.

I have played with the base url in config & also the $file = str_replace("\\", "/", __FILE__); in ckeditor_php5.php with differing results.

The source prior to submit is

<p>
    <img alt="" src="/ckfinder/userfiles/images/cuzz.jpg" style="width: 180px; height: 180px;" /></p>

the source after submit is

<p>
    &lt;img alt=&quot;\&amp;quot;\&amp;quot;&quot; data-cke-saved-src=&quot;\&quot; src=&quot;\&amp;quot;/ckfinder/userfiles/images/cuzz.jpg\&amp;quot;&quot; style=&quot;\&amp;quot;width:&quot; 180px;=&quot;&quot; height:=&quot;&quot; 180px;\&quot;=&quot;&quot;&gt;</p>

any help appreciated.

cuzz.
