Re: cakePHP 2.1, ckeditor + ckfinder

1. Check the folder is present at the correct location.
2. Please check the folder permissions are correct.
3. The folder needs 777 permissions for uploading a file.
4. set

function CheckAuthentication()
{
// WARNING : DO NOT simply return "true". By doing so, you are
allowing
// "anyone" to upload and list the files in your server. You must
implement
// some kind of session validation here. Even something very simple
as...

// return isset($_SESSION['IsAuthorized']) &&
$_SESSION['IsAuthorized'];

// ... where $_SESSION['IsAuthorized'] is set to "true" as soon as
the
// user logs in your system. To be able to use session variables
don't
// forget to add session_start() at the top of this file.

return true;
}

Hope this will help.
