Hi,

I have problem with fckeditor file browser. When I'm opening file browser I get error message from connector.

Error message:

XML request error: Access is denied (403)

I have set permissions in connectors/cfm/ -folder as "full control" for group "Everyone". This shoud be enough.

Same error message comes when i use Fckeditor supplied with Coldfusion 9 and Fckeditor installed separately.

Server information:

Win Server 2008 R2

IIS 7.5 (with IIS 6 Metabase compatibility)

Coldfusion 9.0.1 developer edition

Fckeditor 2.6.4.1 (supplied with CF9)

Fckeditor 2.6.6

Best regards

Pasi Rouhiainen

    There is also another problem if you have an older version where the <cffunction name="FileUpload" returntype="void" output="true"> in cf_commands.cfm

    is a reserved coldfusion function in coldfusion 9 upwards

    so change the title of this to UploadFile

    and replace the instances in cf_connector.cfm

    and cf_upload.cfm

    all works again

    I'm not sure why this problem was occuring but I encountered the same situation with IIS7 and CF9.  All CFM files are being prevented from running in a directory named "filemanager".  It took a while to determine that it was the name "filemanager" causing the problem.  Perhaps it is a security feature.

    I changed the directory name for "fmanager" and all started working again.
