To install CKFinder, download the CKFinder Java distribution package (a .war file) from the official download site.

Running the Sample Application

A test application is available in the _samples folder of the distribution package.

After you download CKFinder, follow the steps described below for all compatible servers.

Tomcat

Place the CKFinder Java .war file in the Tomcat webapps folder. Go to Tomcat bin folder and run the startup script file for your operating system — startup.bat for Windows or startup.sh for Linux. When you are running Tomcat as a service, restart the server.

By default Tomcat has the autoDeploy="true" option enabled (check the Host element in the server.xml file). If this option was not changed, running the application should also be possible after you copy it to the webapps folder without stopping the server.

By deafult, the application should be available under the following URL in your browser: http://localhost:8080/CKFinderJava-2.0/

Please note that the HTTP 8080 port of the sample URL is the default Tomcat port. If you changed this value while configuring your Tomcat installation, you will need to use a modified port value to run the sample application.

Jetty

Place the CKFinder Java .war file in the Jetty webapps folder. In the command line go to the root of the Jetty server and start it with a java -jar start.jar command.

By deafult, the application should be available under the following URL in your browser: http://localhost:8080/CKFinderJava-2.0/

Please note that the HTTP 8080 port of the sample URL is the default Jetty port. If you changed this value while configuring your Jetty installation, you will need to use a modified port value to run the sample application.

Go to the Jetty Quick Start guide for more information about using this server.

GlassFish

The GlassFish server can be started from the command line. Go to the server bin folder and run the asadmin script. Next you need to start the domain which is a pre-requisite to upload the application or use the administrator's console. In this example we are going to use the test domain that is deployed with the servr. Run the start-domain command to start it.

The application can be uploaded to the server by using the command line or the administrator's console.

When using the command line, run the following:

deploy  relativePath/ CKFinderJava-2.0.war

Please note that the path to the CKFinder Java .war file is relative to the asadmin script that is located in the bin server of GlassFish.

When using the administrator's console, log in and go to the Applications tab. Specify the location of the CKFinder Java .war file and set the application type to Web Application.

The applic

W przypadku konsoli administratora, po zalogowaniu należy przejść do zakładki „Applications” , określić lokalizację (Location) pliku CKFinderJava-2.0.war oraz ustawić typ aplikacji (Type) jako „Web Application” i wcisnąć przycisk OK.

By deafult, the application should be available under the following URL in your browser: http://localhost:8080/CKFinderJava-2.0/

Please note that the HTTP 8080 port of the sample URL is the default GlassFish port. If you changed this value while configuring your GlassFish installation, you will need to use a modified port value to run the sample application.
