TinyMCE not allowing browsing for images

Hi all,

Really need some aid in this - its driving me nuts!

TinyMCE (4.3.3) just shows and error when I try to browse for an image to place in my content. I just get the error:

"Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data."

I've tried reinstalling it, I've checked all the permissions and I've even transplanted a working version from another site in there.

All have the same result.

Can anyone please help me out?

Thanks!

I ran across this once, when the server was configured to limit the folder depth for running scripts. It was set to a limit of four levels, and TinyMCE and the resource browser needed six levels. The client's hosting company was willing to re-set the level to six, and all was well.

Thanks Susan. Would you know of a way to change this? In CPanel or WHM?

No, this would have to be a hosting help desk request. If that's the problem, that is.

Could there be other issues such as the way ModX is set up or configured? I have loads of other sites on the same server an none have this issue.

Then it's something else. Are you sure that all of the paths and URLs are correct in the core/config/config.inc.php file?

Hmm - looking at it now there is something that looks odd to me in the config file: All paths are preface with /home/

EG: '/home/pptestco/public_html/core/'

Now the thing with this particular site is that it actually does not yet have a Domain Name pointed to it. The temporary URL actually looks like: http://host.myserver.net/~pptestco

Im just not sure where the 'home' comes into it. Perhaps I should try shortening these to just 'public_html/core/' or perhaps even prefaced by an IP.

What do you think?

Ah. Temporary domain addresses have always caused me problems.

The path is probably correct; that's the full server path from the root of the server itself; the public_html folder is the web root. /home/username/ is a very common directory structure.

I think your right. I checked all the scripts in the plugin. Some of them are not set to executable. I tried to change their permissions but got denied by the server. I think this may be because I am accessing the server via the webhosts actual IP rather then something like ftp.mysite.com

I think I will wait until a domain name is applied to the site and try again.

.php files don't need to be executable; in fact they should not be. They are automatically passed on to the PHP executable by the web server.
