[D7] Save Configuration fails locally (problem with PCRE library in PHP 3.5.x)

Try to update to the last DEV version of CKEditor module and then write that u still have this problem.

Greetings

Do u install CKEditor on the fresh install of Drupal or migrate from version D6?

I am having this same issue. I have WAMPServer 2.1 and a clean Drupal 7 install on my Windows 7 localhost.

Just updated to the latest dev version and get the same error.

I'm having the same issue, wampserver 2.1 and all.

Apache 2.2.17
PHP 5.3.4
ckeditor module 7.x-1.1
ckeditor 3.5.2

A clean install of D7, no other modules enabled.

Hi,
@Dave Meyer do you have this issue (connection reset) when you use some standard input filter (default in drupal7) ?
@Dave Meyer, @zarclin, @stevec5375 do you have any errors or warnings (php, js , others). Maybe you can set php error reporting to E_ALL , check apache logs , any information can be helpful. Thanks.

EDIT:
I have tested this issue on
wampserver 2.1
Apache 2.2.17
PHP 5.3.5
ckeditor module 7.x-1.1
ckeditor 3.5.2
on windows XP and can't reproduce this issue.

Hi,
I also test it with:
WampServer 2.1
Apache 2.2.17
PHP 5.3.4 and PHP 5.3.5
ckeditor module 7.x-DEV
ckeditor 3.5.2
Windows 7

And i can't reproduce that... Pls look to Apache logs, maybe there u can find something - then pls copy it here... or u can PM me and send full log with error log and i will analyse it, maybe this help how to reproduce your bugs...

EDIT:
Do u have mod rewrite module enabled in Apache?

I can't change the input filter, as that's one of the changes that can't be saved due to connection time out. So yes, I get the same problem with a standard input filter.

This problem hasn't reared its head when not on localhost, by the way.

Here is the output of the Apache error log:

[Fri Apr 01 17:46:03 2011] [notice] Parent: child process exited with status 255 -- Restarting.

There aren't any reported PHP errors.

Ok i find where is problem, it's bug with new PCRE module in PHP 5.3.x
I try to fix it but it's not so easy, probably in PHP 5.3.x PCRE is not enabled to utf8 mode...
In PHP 5.2.x everything works good...

Any news on this? I am having the exact same issue (same configuration)

Hi,
Is still problem with it and nothing change..
It works with PHP 5.2.x and probably it would be work good with PHP 5.3.6 - they change PCRE library, but i don't test it yet...

Below i add little temporary fix for that - after this toolbar validation in Profile is disabled.

Greetings

Thanks, that fixed it.

Thanks so much for this! It's been driving me crazy for 2 days this...

I am also able to confirm that I added this patch provided to fix my problem to save the profile page where I was trying to change for the ckeditor settings. I was searching for several hours to find a fix.

I was able to find this discussion after many attempts of searching for this problem by using these words on Google....
drupal ckeditor profile save error

Anyway, I can save the configuration for the ckeditor and now edit with the ckfinder to browse for images with the full editor.
Thanks.

Hello

I'm having same problem. I can see #13 contain patch file fox fix ít, but i don't know how to use it (i'm Windows user). Please help.

Hi,
open the file "sites/all/modules/ckeditor/includes/ckeditor.admin.inc"
back it up and then edit.
find the lines
if (!preg_match('#^\s*\[(?:\s*(?:\[(?:\s*([\'\"\"])(?:\w+|-)\1\s*[,]?\s*)+\]|([\'\"\"])\/\2)\s*[,]?\s*)+\]\s*$#', $edit['toolbar'])) {
form_set_error('toolbar', t('Enter valid toolbar configuration.'));
}
and replace them with
//if (!preg_match('#^\s*\[(?:\s*(?:\[(?:\s*([\'\"\"])(?:\w+|-)\1\s*[,]?\s*)+\]|([\'\"\"])\/\2)\s*[,]?\s*)+\]\s*$#', $edit['toolbar'])) {
// form_set_error('toolbar', t('Enter valid toolbar configuration.'));
//}

Hi Guys,

New comer knows nothing but super curious, I'm learning Drupal recently by installing on localhost and stucked with this problem for couple of days.

Glad I stumbled on this thread and follow the instruction (I don't know how to apply the patch) but I applied RoyE (#20) way..and it works.

Wampserver 2.2
PHP 5.3.8
CKEditor 3.6.2

Tons of Thanks

Hello everyone, i am facing the same problem in my local development

Os: win7 x64
wamp server: 2.2
Apache: 2.2.21
PHP: 5.3.8
mysql: 5.5.16
drupal: 6-22
ckeditor: 6.x-1.8

i am getting a connection reset message when trying to save profile at ckeditor.
What is pcre library?

i've used #13 and it works beautifully.
why isn't it integrated into a new version??

Thank you

I make a little patch with change of toolbar syntax validation.
Previous patch only disable toolbar syntax validation - nothing else.

Pls check does it work for u or not.

Greetings

Changes commited to GIT (diff)

Greetings

This fixed me too. hard to believe this hasn't been resolved - I guess with fckeditor now trying to sell themselves as a product they forgot their roots.

Thank you! The diff patch worked for me.
