In the "Permissions (Nodes / File Uploads): What Would Be a Proper Way to Set This Up?" topic, I mentioned that:
I have Drupal in its own directory to make it easier to upgrade when new releases come out, and am using a "files" directory separate from its own to ensure certain files won't be deleted by mistake if I have to mess around with anything in Drupal's folder.
I managed to get the file system path to work, but ended up creating another problem:
In order to allow IMCE to recognize the other "files" directory (the one outside of Drupal's directory), I have had to set the file system path to
../files
. When adding a link or image via TinyMCE, this causes its path to start with/../files/
.Unfortunately, these paths do not work properly in Internet Explorer 6 - images will show up as broken and links will lead to an "Error 400 / Bad Request" page. When viewing the properties of any link or image using that path, they show up with
/../files/
in the address, instead of/files/
.The other browsers I have tested (Firefox, Internet Explorer 7 and Opera) are not affected by this - images and links will load properly and when viewing the properties of any link or image using that path, they show up with
/files/
in the address.
Would it be possible, such as by editing an .htaccess file (or two - I have one in the root directory and one in Drupal's directory), to allow Drupal to use files
(instead of ../files
) for the file system path? If this could be done, manually removing the /..
part from paths added by TinyMCE would no longer be necessary.

Apologies for being impatient, but I'm wondering whether or not this is possible.
