FCKeditor Image browse server 403 error

misterpat · Hangin' Around Joined: Mar 02, 2009 Posts: 48

Hello all,

Just ditched phpnuke 7.9 for raven 2.30

Best thing I ever did! I love it. RavensScripts

One question, When I go to post some content and click the image button, then click browse server, I get a 403 error.

Anyone else get this? Is it a HTACCESS problem?

Raven nuke is all stock, I didn't change anything.....yet.

Thanks.

Make sure that the folder has permissions of 755 and the image has permissions of 644.

Glad you made the switch too Wink

Just tried cmod'ing the upload folder and all its sub folders to 755 and went back to try and browse the server, Still getting the pop up with the 403.

It seems to me someone else had a simular problem that was caused by index.html files being created when the uploads directory was uploaded to the server. Look in you uploads/file, uploads/media etc. and see if there is an index file in there. if it is, delete it and see if that fixes it. ONLY do this for those folders inside the uploads directory, not any other folder.

Just did that. Same problem.

Here is a link to the uploads folder, you can see the 403 error.

BTW, thanks for the help nuken on that other thread.

Do you have a .htaccess file that has deny from all in it? If so, delete it.

The only htaccess I have in my raven directory is the ones provided by the raven software.

I have directory indexing turned off through CPanel, but i turned it to normal indexing, and I still got that 403 error.

Thanks for all your help. Other than this little problem, everything works great.

It makes no sense at all that I can see. Are you, by any chance, doing any redirects via your domain name registrar? Do you have any direct/indirect control over your Apache configuration file other than through .htaccess? Somewhere, somehow, there appears to be a filter that is forcing the 403 condition which is permission related. And it's purely a shot in the dark, but I'm wondering if it's directly tied to the filename "uploads". Are you aware of anything like what have mentioned?

In your rnconfig file located in your RN root directory, make sure the path to the uploads directory is set for '/uploads/'

In rnconfig just below the advanced editor part:

$uploadpath = '/uploads/';

Raven,

I'm not doing any redirects. The only thing I can think of with the Apache server is with Apache handlers. I'm not sure if they will help.

Is it as easy as changing the name of the upload folder on the server and in rnconfig?

I just checked that and changed it to '/uploads/';

Still no workie. Sad

Could this be a problem with the browser connector?

Just for grins, chmod uploads and subs to 777 and see if that works. If it does, we'll go from there as 777 is not recommended.

Actually you need to change the setting back to '' but that's a separate issue.

Can you upload images?

I will change that back now. Yes, I can upload images.

Raven · Posted: Sat Mar 07, 2009 9:59 pm

Even more bizarre. Please explain, in detail, how yo upload images. Thanks.

Raven,

I just click the image button in the FCKeditor and then click the Upload tab. I select my image from my computer, then click Send it to the server. Works great.

Thanks again for the help with this.

So then it's only the Browse Server that creates the 403 error - correct?

Correct.

Anything related in the site error log?

Also, what is the value of this setting in the includes/fckeditor/fckconfig.js ?

FCKConfig.ImageBrowserURL

Raven · Posted: Sun Mar 08, 2009 11:21 am

Nothing in the logs.

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

Try the RavenIce theme just to see if it works. I had a similar problem with a custom theme that turned out to be a problem with the way the DB is accessed.

Also NOTE: your /uploads/ directory is publicly viewable now ... not good! Raven will tell you how to fix that since he's the primary caretaker of this issue.

Ok, I will try the raven ice theme.

I turned on directory indexing to see if it would help this issue. As soon as this is resolved, its getting turned off. Smile

EDIT: Just tried the RavenIce theme. Same problem.
