I just figured it out, although I have not seen the 500 error. I was getting permission errors when I entered the file browser.
I had been putting in my little customizations (toolbars, tableToggleBorders plugin, other stuff) and tackling the CF connector last. I decided to do the connector first instead and just install it as they say to: off the web root into a folder called /FCKEditor, so that fckeditor.cfm is located at http://127.0.0.1:8500/fckeditor/fckeditor.cfm Then I created http://127.0.0.1:8500/test_fck.cfm that says <CFAPPLICATION NAME="test_FCK_1235" SESSIONMANAGEMENT="Yes" clientmanagement="Yes" applicationtimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,30,0)#" SESSIONTIMEOUT="#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,30,0)#"> <cfparam name="form.FirstEditor" default="This is the first window" type="string"> <html><head><title>Single Editor Test</title> </head><body> <cfform action="#cgi.script_name#" method="POST"> <cfmodule template="fckeditor/fckeditor.cfm" instanceName="FirstEditor" toolbarSet="Default" width="650" height="400" value="#form.FirstEditor#"> <p> <input type="Submit" value="Submit"> </cfform> </body></html> Everything works perfectly. A folder called /userfiles (http://127.0.0.1:8500.userfiles) is demanded as the upload root, but that should be easy to defeat. The new CF guy on the project made that foldername part of the config file, which hopefully is a global setting. I found by replacing the cfparam for url.type in connector.cfm with <cfset url.type=session.thisfolder> (where the session var is supplied externally from my CMS) then I am good to go in terms of defeating FCK's imposed folder structure.. Try a service restart if you are getting 500's. Anyway this worked for me to get the basic editor up. Now that I have the stupid thing working I bet I put it pretty much anywhere. A great testimonial to why you document code, preferably line by line. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:221247 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
