TinyMCE - Forum / MCFileManager / Support / Point to directory outside the webroot

I have set the filesystem.rootpath to point to a dir outside the webroot.
File manager shows nicely the files that are in the folder.

When I click on one of the files I get in the preview a message that the file can not be found.

The absolute path is /home/vhost/sitename.com/my_map/files/
The error message says:
'File not found at' http://www.sitename.commy_map/files/test.pdf

(note the 'commymap')

Is there some internal configuration that has to be done when clicking the selected file?

What your preview.wwwroot setting?

Thanks for your reply,

my preview.wwwroot setting is the same one as the filesystem.rootpath.

I can see all the files in the directory but I get an error if I want preview the file or if I link the file.

I will really appreciate your help. My customer don't want his files placed in the webroot.

Well, for images outside of the webroot, you need to stream the image through.

Make a PHP page that just outputs the image (from the path it gets) (Please care for security issues). Then add that page on preview.urlprefix
http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/MCImage … .urlprefix

Ofc this means PHP still need access to read files in that folder.
