ckfinder gives me "system error"

hi,

have been stuck with this problem for a while. sorry if it's some small stupid glitch of mine but i just cannot get through it

once i click on the "insert image" or "insert link" and on the popup "browse server" i get the new window with error message box saying "system error" as topic but no message itself and that's it

when i take "upload" from upper part i get information message "Please select folder before uploading."

so i assume i don't have the right directory selected? config.php points to correct directory as far as i can get it. but why cannot i get any real error message what is exactly wrong?

Re: ckfinder gives me "system error"

Have you tried uncommenting these lines in the config.php and see if you get some better error message detail?

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

Re: ckfinder gives me "system error"

Check your write permissions in the directory. I've found that we have to have 755 on ours for it to work properly.

Re: ckfinder gives me "system error"

solution was pretty easy - i managed to make a typo in the file myself when i was writing the authentication part. in conclusion - fresh copy should work, at least without this problem

Re: ckfinder gives me "system error"

I am using standalone php ckfinder. This system error message occurs for me when i use either ckfinder.html or _samples/standalone.html.

I have this exact problem and it appears to be a syntax error in the connector.php file.

I've installed a fresh copy, edited the config.php file properly. Still, this problem persists.

Please me here here on the boards clearly for the sake of others. I find that this forum tends to not answer user's questions publicly, which is very unhelpful.

Thank you in advance,

Re: ckfinder gives me "system error"

@nvcken, @c78kwweafr - could you compress the whole CKFinder along with your custom configuration file, make it available via some URL and send me a private message with a link so that I could download it and check it locally?

Usually such errors are caused by a typo in the configuration file - missing semicolon, etc.

Re: ckfinder gives me "system error"

Thanks c78kwweafr for sending me a link to the website with this problem.

@anyone else looking for a solution:

If you have downloaded CKFinder for PHP and it is not working and showing you strange errors instead, make sure that PHP is available on your web server.

If you open in the browser URL similar to: http://localhost/ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=Init
(where http://localhost/ckfinder/ is the place where CKFinder was installed)
then your web server definitely should not ask you to save that file (connector.php) or display its contents as plain text.

To check whether your server supports PHP, simply create a file named foo.php with the following content:

<?php

// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();
?>
