HI!!!
I am trying to have my users to upload pictures in their posts with KCEditor and CKFinder (the free one) but, even though I set the 'upload' folder to 777, I get the following messages:
window 1:

cannot write to upload folder /usr/local/apache/htdocs/upload


window 2:

Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/local/apache/htdocs/upload) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/:/usr/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/a234/public_html/kcfinder/core/uploader.php on line 225

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/local/apache/htdocs/upload/.htaccess) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/:/usr/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/a234/public_html/kcfinder/core/uploader.php on line 254


Line 225 says:
if (!is_dir($this->config['uploadDir']))

and line 254:
if (!file_exists($htaccess))

Finaly, I don't see any .htaccess in the 'upload' folder, and if I want to create one, I don't know what to put in it :-/

Thanks!!

Have you found the folder that tells you who has the problem within your public_html folder?
Perhaps the problem is that the directory structure on your PC is different from that which exists within your account 000webhost.
You should adapt the paths to run on the server (make the appropriate changes on your PC)

Thanks for taking some time to help!!
I have the folder I want to store the files in my public_html. In fact it is called 'upload'.
I don't follow you when you make reference to the directory structure in my PC vs the one in the server. I really never tried to run this in my local machine. If I have to change something in my PC, I guess all of the users would need to do the same changes on their on computer? That doesn't sound right, does it?

Thanks, by the way, where's the botón karma???

Normally the webmaster create her/his website on a local server within his/her PC, and when the web site works fine is when she/he upload to public server.

The problem seems to be that there is no folder with the default application set. You should change the directories listed in the application. For example, the file /home/a234/public_html/kcfinder/core/uploader.php should look for:
/usr/local/apache/ htdocs/upload

and instead it write:
/upload

If the first error message disappears, is a sign that you're on track.
