* Grant the "CKFinder access" permission in the '''Administration panel''' > '''People''' > '''Permissions''' section.
 
* Open the Drupal settings file (<code>sites/default/settings.php</code>) and do the following:
 
** Uncomment the <code>$base_url</code> variable and set the base URL of your website (without the trailing slash).
 
** Uncomment the <code>$cookie_domain</code> variable and set the domain name of your website.
 
* Configure CKFinder settings in the '''File browser settings''' section for the CKEditor profile that you want to use.
