upload is working / browse server gives 403 error

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /nieuws/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/browser.html on this server.

This is the message when I want to browse the server. The upload works fine, the image is in the editor and I can change the image properties. But when I use the 'browse server' button I get that 403 error.

The link that is used to get to the browser is:
http://www.koi-exclusive.be/nieuws/fcke ... nector.php

The permission is set to 777. I got a userfile folder, in that is an image folder (both 777)

what am I doing wrong?

Re: upload is working / browse server gives 403 error

permission issue solved. But then the next problem showed up. I got that xml 404 error that many of the users have. The problem was the fckconfig.js .
The following part gave me that problem:

FCKConfig.ImageBrowserURL = FCKConfig.BasePath + 'filemanager/browser/default/browser.html?Type=Image&Connector=../../connectors/' + _FileBrowserLanguage + '/connector.' + _FileBrowserExtension ;

I had problems with the ' ../../connectors/. They gave me 403 (no permission) and 404 (not found) errors

I solved it with this:

FCKConfig.ImageBrowserURL = FCKConfig.BasePath + 'filemanager/browser/default/browser.html?Type=Image&Connector='+FCKConfig.BasePath + 'filemanager/connectors/' + _FileBrowserLanguage + '/connector.' + _FileBrowserExtension ;

Works fine now.

Re: upload is working / browse server gives 403 error

My Fix to 403 Forbidden when I tried to upload an image using FCKEditor

The 403 error is a permission error

My Set Up
+ IIS 6.0
+ ASPX

1. Go to
Internet Information Services > (YOUR SERVER) > Web Sites
2. Right click your Website and select [Properties]
3. Go to [Home Directory] tab
4. Check your [Application Pool:] name, let's call it [AP20]
5. Click [Ok] to close your Website properties window
6. Go to
Internet Information Services > (YOUR SERVER) > Application Pools
7. Right click your application pool name [AP20] and select [Properties]
7. Click [Identity] tab
8. Chose [Predifined]
9. Select [Network Service]
10. Click [Ok]
11. Open Windows Explorer
12. Go to the folder where your application is located [C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\]
13. Right Click the folder of your application and select [Properties]
14. Go to [Security] tab
15. Click [Add]
16. Enter [Network Service]
17. Click [Ok]
18. Select [Full Control] for [Network Service]
19. Click [Apply]
20. Click [Advanced]
21. Select [Network Service] from the List
22. Check [Replace permissions entries ............. child objects]
23. Click [Ok], the system will replace permissions and retur to previous window
24. Click [Ok]
25. Close Windows Explorer
26. Go to
Internet Information Services > (YOUR SERVER) > Web Sites
27. Right click your Website and select properties
28. Go to [Home Directory] Tab
29. Change [Execute permissions:] to [None]
30. Click [Apply]
31. [Inheritance Overrides] window will open (if it does not, you are still ok)
31.a) Click [Select All]
31.b) Click [Ok]
29. Change [Execute permissions:] to [Scripts and Executables]
30. Click [Apply]
31. [Inheritance Overrides] window will open (if it does not, you are still ok)
31.a) Click [Select All]
31.b) Click [Ok]
32. Click [Ok]
33. Pray
34. Go and check your FCKEditor in your application
35. This worked for me, I hope it does for you too.

Good Luck
