I am trying to install filebrowser, but it does not seem to work. I copied the module into the modules folder and set the following directories:
Root directory:
www.site.nl/drupal/files/tmp
Icon directory:
drupal/modules

when I try and startup filebrowser I get the following error:
root directory
Unable to get files for this directory

Can anybody tell me what to do to fix this, I really need to use this component to get my site up and running.

Thanks a bunch

Read the help text right under the textfield please:

Root directory used to present the filebrowser interface. Users will not be able to go up from this folder. Only a directory name under the Drupal root is accepted. Example: "public/files".

This means you should probably set files/tmp as the root folder, if you would like to set the provided folder (and your Drupal is set up under the drupal folder as you pointed out). Note that this is a directory setting not an URL. Nowhere does the interface tell you to provide an URL.
