How do I enable file upload in fckeditor in CF9?

[bcreedy]

Hi: We have just installed CF9 enterprise and use the "cftextarea richtext=true" in a number of web pages, but I don't see any way of uploading a file to the server.

How can I enable the file upload?

thanks

Hi: After much searching and testing I found the solution to this problem.

It was caused by a security update that was applied to CF8 and to CF9, which  turned off the file/image upload features. In order to re-activate them I had to add a special  parameter to the CF startup dialogue in jvm.

I have done this and tested it out and it's working fine.

Here's the solution provided by Peter Freitag:

It turns out that hotfix (hf801-77218) will actually block any CFM request matching /fckeditor/editor/filemanager/ anywhere in the URI.

To bypass this feature you need to add the JVM argument: -Dcoldfusion.fckupload=true to your JVM arguments. This is found in the ColdFusion administrator under Java & JVM settings on Standard, or in the jvm.config

file on Enterprise.
