Re: thumbnails show up as ? mark

Calling asp.net from the server side has failed:
Error loading "http://www.mountainbloom.com/ckfinder/wizard/assets/hello.aspx"
A connection with the server could not be established

This can happen if the server isn't allowed to make any outbound connection and can't resolve its own IP
You can fix it by editing the host file of the server (or using the DNS management) and adding a loopback.
Open "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" with notepad and add the following line:
127.0.0.1 www.mountainbloom.com
Then save the file and test again.

Re: thumbnails show up as ? mark

My host made that change to the hosts file for me, no change in the errors.

I did however notice a couple of things in CKFinder after the hosts file update.
1) the ? marks now show up much faster then before
2) when I upload I now get an error

It was not possible to complete the request. (Error Error returned in call to Asp.Net)

where before I was just getting a timeout.

Re: thumbnails show up as ? mark

Now the server is able to connect to itself, but it seems that it's configured in such a way to only work with one IP, it's returning "No web site is configured at this address."

Please, point them to this thread or to the output of the wizard, I can only guess what's the correct solution for your server, maybe they can try to set

192.168.23.35  www.mountainbloom.com

But they are the ones that can tell what's exactly the correct configuration. Anyway, I would like to know what's their response because I can try to improve the wizard to offer that suggestion (it will be easy if the code that I'm suggesting works)

Re: thumbnails show up as ? mark

While I'm waiting for them to make that change so I can test it.

The ASP.NET version of CKFinder works fine on this server, including thumbnails. What's the difference between the thumbnail creation between the ASP.NET version, and the ASP version with Asp.Net selected as it's thumbnail creation method?

Would it be possible to use the ASP.NET versions thumbnail component instead? If it is, would it be safe to use it without the CheckAuthentication?

Thanks again.

Re: thumbnails show up as ? mark

It's up to you to know if you can safely use the asp.net version of CKFinder if you're unable to get the proper values for the CheckAuthentication function. Usually that could mean that anyone would be able to access directly the CKFinder connector and do whatever he wants (upload/delete) files in your server, but you can restrict this is your able to use Basic Authentication at the server.

The asp connector is trying just to tell an asp.net script: "Hey please, take care of resizing this pictures as I'm not able to do it", but your problem at the moment is that it isn't able to send that message to itself, and that's why it doesn't work.

It's not possible to do a "Include" of an asp.net script inside an asp page, so the trick that we are using here is the only one that I know of in order to use the mixture of environments.

Re: thumbnails show up as ? mark

i am having same problem that my thumbnails are show up as ? mark. Very strange that in IE it shows half of the thumbnails properly and half like ? marks. In Chrome and firefox, no thumbnail at all but ? marks. ASP.NET version is being used. Right now demo.
