I have installed and uninstalled ckeditor several times and always have this error:
CKEditor was not found at sites/all/modules/ckeditor.
The editor is there.
I have also had:
CKEditor was not found at sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckeditor
I created a folder in sites/all/modules/ckeditor called it ckeditor, and copied ckeditor's files inside to create the sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckeditor
I still get the error.
In modules, ckeditor shows as installed correctly. I even set all the preferences in it. However, the error comes up in configuration.
My editing screen is the same as before I installed ckeditor.

It seems that the installation did not install the file: ckeditor.js

OK, I installed manually the missing files in sites/all/modules/ckeditor. However, now I find that wysiwyg needs files in the library of the sites directory. This is a problem because my installation of Droopal did not include a library folder in SITES/ALL/
I gues I will create that folder and try to guess what library files must go there. However, if someone out there can help with this, please do. I am totally new at this.

Thanks,

Guillermo

Hi
@guionis1 did you install module from http://drupal.org/project/ckeditor or WYSIWYG module ?
If you installed CKEditor module after unzip module and copy unpacked files to sites/all/modules/ckeditor directory you should download CKEditor library from http://ckeditor.com/download. After download and unzip this files copy it to sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckeditor. Please refer to copy_here.txt file in sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckeditor directory.

Hi Michal,

I just spent the last hour or so trying to find some sort of coherent install instructions for CKEditor for Drupal (D6 specifically). And what you just wrote is the best I can find!

Can someone PLEASE! add actual instructions to the http://drupal.org/project/ckeditor page? Not some hint to some vague readme file bundled in a tarball, but honest to god, fully laid out, install instructions. ON THE PROJECT PAGE! *sorry for yelling, 'tis a bit frustrating.*

Thank you,
Michael

I solved the problem. The thing is that using the file transfer link on the page, only the main files were installed. Some folders were missing. The main folder m,issing was the libraries folder. The sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckeditor folder had only a tezxt file.
I downloaded the zip file, and uploaded to sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ and to sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckeditor. Then I created a library folder in the sites/all folder and added the whole folder ckeditor with all its files.
I know I have many more files than I need, but now almost everything works. I am still wrestling with the media files. I have installed: IMCE, Media font, Open Standards Media Player, CKeditor, CKEditor link, IMCE Wysiwyg API bridge, and Wysiwyg. However, when I try to include media files in the CKeditor, they disappear as soon as I save or try to preview. They just vanish.
Well, this is tough for beginners!

Thx @Whole Human, install instructions are in readme file (added to module) and also here http://drupal.ckeditor.com/installation. We will try to improve install instructions.
@guionis1 remember that CKEditor module and WYSIWYG module doesn't work good together (WYSIWYG module even turn off CKEditor module when you enabled it) , so please don't enable them together.
@guionis1 maybe you try use IMCE or CKFinder to manage media files.

Michal, Checking more things, I found that it does not save the table formats or the size of the letters. It is missing a lot of the code. Wysiwyg can not be unchequed in my modules.
I guess I'll try installing CKeditor again.

Those problems are probably related with compatibility CKEditor module with others modules. In your case those modules probably need WYSIWYG module. I think that idea of using WYSIWYG and CKEditor modules is not the best options. IMHO you should pick one of it.
EDIT:
One more think. If some code is stripped (missing) after saving page/article. Please look at text filters/format do you use. Maybe you should check this on full html text input/format.

I decided to reinstall, downloading the files to my computer. Trying to upload with the Drupal Modules installer, I get a "Missing .info file" message. the upload is not possible. I'll try doing it manually again.
Trying to install directly from "http://download.cksource.com/CKEditor/CKEditor/CKEditor%203.5.3/ckeditor..." directly to Drupal Modules I do get the message: "ckeditor_3.5.3.zip does not contain any .info files" again.

In the first case, my installation must have been bugged. I am not an expert and did it manually. The second installation required me to install it three times. When I installed in the main directory (root), it did not work at all. CKedit was not recogniced. Then, I installed in /drupal/sites/all/modules/ckedit/ckedit. This worked partly, but ckedit was not recogniced. Then, I installed ckedit again in /drupal/sites/all/libraries/ckedit. Now everything seems to work. However, images and flash only work on full html.
I am very happy you guys make this great program, and it is free. I hope my installation problems are helpful.
By the way, as it is installed now, it seems to be working with Wysiwyg - no problem. If I find a problem I'll post it.

Thanks.
