!!PLEASE READ THROUGH THIS README *BEFORE* CRYING FOR HELP!!





NOTES:

------



This software is provided as is with no guarantees or

warranties what so ever. It has been proven to work

under the following setups (many other should work):-



PHP 4.3.x / Apache 1.3.x (FreeBSD/WinXP Pro/OpenBSD)

PHP 5.x / Apache 2.x (Linux)



Reported to work under IIS with minor alterations.

(Manually define $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] and dont use

the upload cgi)



!!! if you specify the relative path of the connector in 

	the fckconfig.js file you may experience some unusual

	behaviour mainly in firefox, like the resource list

	failing to refresh. To avoid this specify the absolute

	path of the connector.



	

CONNECTOR CONFIGURATION

-----------------------



/FCKeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/mcpuk/connectors/php/config.php

The config.php file contains most of the configuration options for the

connector, the file is fully commented, so please take a look through it.

		

Most commonly asked question:

Can i put the userfiles outside the FCKeditor folder?



The answer is yes, the folder containing all users files is 

setup be default to be /UserFiles this can be changed 

to anything you like, such as /userdata/editorfiles this is

done by editing the $fckphp_config['UserFilesPath'] directive 

in the config.php file for the connector







FILE & FOLDER SETUP:

--------------------



1. Create the user files folder (set in the config.php)

	NOTE: you no longer need to create the Image/File/Media/Flash folders

	if you are using the 'Authentication' option in the connector.

	If you are not using the 'Authentication' option then you must create

	the Image File Media and Flash folders in the user files folder.

	

2. The user files folder must all be chmodded to 0777 (a+wrx)







Upload Progress (Optional) - Rather Buggy

-----------------------------------------

You may move the filemanager/browser/default/connectors/php/Commands/helpers/upload.cgi ,

filemanager/browser/default/connectors/php/Commands/helpers/progress.cgi and

filemanager/browser/default/connectors/php/Commands/helpers/header.cgi

to you cgi-bin folder or set the settings on the folder to allow these to be executed,

check the first line in each of these files to check that the path to perl is correct

for your setup. Open the header.cgi file, check and modify settings as required.

If you have moved these files adjust the path to them in the fckconfig lines as 

specified above and the path the progress.cgi in the config.php file (see below)







FINAL NOTE:

-----------



1. Limited support will be provided by email as and when i have time.

2. If you have any ideas share them either by mailing me or in the 

	forum for the fckeditor (http://sf.net/projects/fckeditor/forums)

3. Enjoy
