Installation Instructions

  1. Copy the distribution files to your web server inside the "/ckfinder/" folder or any other folder in your web site.
  2. 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.
  3. Make the above user files folder writable by the internet user. On Windows, give write permissions to the IUSR_<ServerName> user.
  4. Edit the ckfinder.config file. Be sure you have correctly set all settings in that file, and that you have enabled CKFinder on it. See Configuration

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

Security Tips

  • On IIS, you may set "Execute Permissions" to "none" in the properties of the user files folder (created in step 2).
