"There is an error! The root folder not exist" in tinymce filemanager

Question

I have uploaded tinymce 4 at my domain successfully and tinymce editor is working properly but in filemanager it is giving a error:

There is an error! The root folder not exist.

I set up my file path in the config.php is like this:

$base_url="http://37.221.168.163/~host10ma"; //url base of site if you want only relative url leave empty
$upload_dir = '/tinymce/source/'; // path from base_url to upload base dir
$current_path = '../../source/'; // relative path from filemanager folder to upload files folder

But still i am getting this error, i have tried all possible solutions available on net please someone solve this.

Did you try to come up with a solution yourself? Instead of just hunting around the "net" for a ready-made fix? — Lightness Races in Orbit, Jun 25 '14 at 12:39
This question appears to be off-topic because OP lied about searching all the solutions on the net. — Griwes, Jun 25 '14 at 12:42
@Griwes maybe OP has a quantum computer stashed somewhere on a colocation site — Eiyrioü von Kauyf, Jun 25 '14 at 12:44

I haven't used TinyMCE for a long time but looking at the documentation it looks like you are not using the right parameters in your config.php

http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Configuration

Also check the installation process:

I added the folder name of my app to the root like this : $root = $root . "/myapp/";

And then left the base url empty like this : $base_url = "";

This thread is a bit old but I just found the solution so maybe it could help the next person with the same problem.

The $base_url needs to be a root URL, not a path to a specific folder. Instead of what you did, change it like this:

$base_url = 'http://37.221.168.163'; //url base of site if you want only relative url leave empty
$upload_dir = '/~host10ma/tinymce/source/'; // path from base_url to upload base dir
$current_path = '../../source/'; // relative path from filemanager folder to upload files folder

I don't know what you folder tree looks like but make sure $current_path is properly set. If not, nothing will happen when you try to upload a file (only preview, no actual upload). Don't forget the script is called from within the filemanager folder, so mind the actual number of levels you need to go back from.

1.Assume your tinymce folder located in http://localhost/projectname/tinymce/

2.Create folder images under tinymce eg: tinymce/images

3.Go to the folder location tinymce/plugins/filemanager/config.php

4.Go to the line near 15 to 20

base_url="http://localhost/projectname/";

$upload_dir = 'tinymce/images/';

$current_path = '../../images/';

5.Add this line

$root='/tinymce/';

Save and Run the project.

Assume your tinymce folder located in http://localhost/projectname/tinymce/
Create folder images under tinymce eg: tinymce/images
Go to the folder location tinymce/plugins/filemanager/config.php
Go to the line near 15 to 20-- it will be look like this

base_url="http://localhost/projectname/";
$upload_dir = 'tinymce/images/';
$current_path = '../../images/';

Add this line: $root='/tinymce/'; or $root='../tinymce/';

Save and Run the project.

Hope it works....
