Can't access uploads folder

I have HTML Editor installed on my Insert and Update pages. I can upload images to my uploads directory with no problems. However, when I try to insert an image using Image, Browse Server, I get the following message:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /(foldername)/uploads/ on this server.

The path to the uploads directory is correct and the folder permissions are set to 777. Any idea what's causing this?

Try changing the upload folder permissions to 755 instead of 777, some servers don't like 777 permissions level

Hi Jason

I've tried that but I still get the same error. I also tried changing the uploads folder to the root of the site instead of in a subfolder, with the same permissions, but still won't let me browse. Error message:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /uploads/ on this server.

Apache Server at [domain.name] Port 80

I'll need to look at the files on the server, see the private message section.

Hi Jason, details in private message below.

IT seems safe mode is enabled on the server, the KFM File manager will not work with safe mode enabled

in the webassist/kfm/configuration.php file, the path to the uploads folder:

$kfm_userfiles_address = '/uploads';

needed to be changed to:

$kfm_userfiles_address = '../../uploads';

also in the /beemail_insert.php file, the file browsert settings:

$CKEditor_config["filebrowserBrowseUrl"] = "/uploads?uicolor=".urlencode(isset($CKEditor_config["uiColor"])?str_replace("#","#",$CKEditor_config["uiColor"]):"#eee")."&theme=webassist_v2&showsidebar=false";

needed to be changed to:

$CKEditor_config["filebrowserBrowseUrl"] = "../webassist/kfm/index.php?uicolor=".urlencode(isset($CKEditor_config["uiColor"])?str_replace("#","#",$CKEditor_config["uiColor"]):"#eee")."&theme=webassist_v2&showsidebar=false";

Thanks for sorting, working fine now!
