New page

== Installation Instructions ==

# Copy the distribution files to your web server inside the "/ckfinder/" folder or any other folder in your web site.
# Create a folder in the server to hold all uploaded files. By default, CKFinder is configured to use the "/ckfinder/userfiles/" folder in your web site.
# Make the above user files folder writable by the internet user. On Linux, chmod it to 0777. On Windows, give write permissions to the IUSR_<ServerName> user.
# Edit the '''config.php''' file. Be sure you have correctly set all settings in that file, and that you have enabled CKFinder on it. See [[CKFinder_2.x/Developers Guide/PHP/Configuration|Configuration]]<br>
# Make sure that PHP is configured properly: GD extension should be enabled and safe mode should be disabled.

You should be ready to go. Just browse _samples/php/standalone.php to test and see CKFinder.

== Security Tips ==

* On Apache, you may disable the PHP engine in the user files folder by copying the "/userfiles/.htaccess" file inside your destination folder.
* The config.php file contains many important security settings. Be sure you have reviewed and understood all of them.
* For more security tips see [[CKFinder_2.x/Developers Guide/PHP/Configuration/Security|Security]] section.
