Description

I only got this problem on one specific Drupal installation, normally it works flawlessly. No matter what I do, it keeps telling me:

The FCKeditor component is not installed correctly. Please go to the FCKeditor homepage to download the latest version. After that you must extract the files to /Jobs/portraitprofi/sites/all/modules/fckeditor/fckeditor/ and make sure that the directory /Jobs/portraitprofi/sites/all/modules/fckeditor/fckeditor/editor and the file /Jobs/portraitprofi/sites/all/modules/fckeditor/fckeditor/fckeditor.js exist. Refer to the readme.txt for more information.

I tried all possible combinations of FCKeditor Module. At the moment it is the 5.x.2.0 beta for the module and 2.4.3 for FCKeditor.

Do you have an idea where to start the investigation?

this error message tells you that the fckeditor component is not correctly extracted, in other words: either you did not extract the fckeditor-2.4.3.zip, or you extracted it to the wrong location

to fix it check the path in the error message to see if fckeditor.js exists on that location
- if it does not exist .. move the extracted files and directories to that location and the message should disappear
- if if the file and directory exists something else is wrong and it's a miracle that the rest of the site is working normally

The solution was so simple I had to laugh out loud. Before I had checked, double-checked and triple-checked.

Though it escaped me, that I had created a fckeditor/fckeditor/fckeditor Folder and put the files there. - Goodie... No Chance for the module to find its files. Now it works.

Thanks. Human factor is still the weakest ...
