Slight problem with FCK and new install

Ok, I just installed the new distro and the FCK editor. I realize that php5 and mysql 4 together are not "supported" as I read in a different post, but this has got to be a very simple thing to fix. Just can't find the exact place to fix it.

When I am in the admin->preferences area, the footer message text boxes give this instead:

Not Found

The requested URL /\/includes/FCKeditor/editor/fckeditor.html was not found on this server.
Apache/2.0.55 (Win32) PHP/5.0.5 Server at localhost Port 80

Notice the /\/. Playin around with teh fckeditor.php code in teh constructor, I have determined that this:

Code:




      if ($strBP{strlen($strBP)-1} != "/") $strBP   .= "/";

Seems to be true. I determined this by changing the "/" to "x/x" and seeing what changed.

If I that line, then the error looks like this:

The requested URL /\includes/FCKeditor/editor/fckeditor.html was not found on this server.

Notice a "/" is missing. So this makes me think that this code:

Code:




$strBP = dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);

is returning "/\" instead of just "/" because removing that line (the dirname code) the editor works fine.

So the questions I have are:

1> Why is it returning "/\" instead of just "/"? Is this a function of apache, or php5, or something else?

2> Does it always return this? If so, maybe we can substring the "\" out of it?

I am running on Localhost
Apache 2.0.55
PHP 5.0.5
MySql 4.1.15

It's a function of PHP, but it seems like a bug. If you're running Nuke in the root directory, just replace

Code:

if ($strBP{strlen($strBP)-1} != "/") $strBP   .= "/";

with

Code:

$strBP = "/";

But isn't this code here to help automatically determine where it is running from and adjust accordingly?

Personally, I just removed all the checks completely for my purpose, but thought there may be a way to 'program' around it so you still have the functionality of automatically adjusting for either case.

That's the goal, and it worked fine for everyone else so far. There is something strange / different about your setup...
