Hi,
I have a problem to install FCKeditor on my drupal site.

I already did it on an another site and it works.

I have copy the fck module in the site/all/modules directory and the fck itself in the site/all/modules/fckeditor/fckeditor directory (I did it like it is described in the video "Install WYSIWYG in Drupal in 7 minutes". Then when I active the module in the administration of drupal, I have a white page with only this message :

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: fckeditor in /homepages/5/d244818681/htdocs/sites/all/modules/fckeditor/fckeditor.module on line 1724

I don't understand because the file fckeditor.module file is in the site/all/modules/fckeditor directory.

For information : I use the version 5.7 of drupal and the version "5.x-2.1" for the fck module and the latest version of fck itself (2.6).

Thank for your help and sorry if I made some errors of spelling (I am french...)

Cheers,
Arno

You shopuld have the following file on your server:
/homepages/5/d244818681/htdocs/sites/all/modules/fckeditor/fckeditor/fckeditor.php
If you can't find it, it means that you unpacked FCKeditor (the editor) into wrong directory.

Make sure that you don't have it one directory deeper for example:
/homepages/5/d244818681/htdocs/sites/all/modules/fckeditor/fckeditor/fckeditor/fckeditor.php

Here's the correct directory structure:
http://drupal.fckeditor.net/troubleshooting#4

Actually there is another thing that could cause this: a dot (".") must be in include_path, it means "the current directory". Alternatively, open fckeditor.php and replace 

if ( !function_exists('version_compare') || version_compare( phpversion(), '5', '<' ) )
	include_once( 'fckeditor_php4.php' ) ;
else
	include_once( 'fckeditor_php5.php' ) ;

with

if ( !function_exists('version_compare') || version_compare( phpversion(), '5', '<' ) )
	include_once( './fckeditor_php4.php' ) ;
else
	include_once( './fckeditor_php5.php' ) ;

Version: 5.x-2.1 » 6.x-1.2-1

I'm new to this so forgive me...
I found navigating directories with the same name very confusing.
