CKFinder - Folder not found While Uploading Files on Server - php

Question

I'm trying to integrate CKFinder(v.3) with CKEditor(v.4) in my Codeigniter project but getting error "Folder not found" when i tried to upload a file on to server. I hv googled this issue and tried various solutions like below but none had worked:
1) Changing permission for ckfinder folder to FULL for all users
2) Changing permission for data-content/page_assets folder to FULL for all users
3) Set baseURL path in config.php to "http://localhost:8080/project/cms/js/ckfinder/userfiles/"
Below are the editor setup in my view file
// filebrowserBrowseUrl & filebrowserUploadUrl will be different for each module but the base will
// same 'data-content'
CKEDITOR.replace( 'page_content', {
filebrowserBrowseUrl: '<?php echo base_url()?>js/ckfinder/ckfinder.html?Type=Images&rlf=0&start=Images:/project/data-content/page_assets/',
filebrowserUploadUrl: '<?php echo base_url()?>js/ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=QuickUpload&type=Images&currentFolder=/project/data-content/page_assets/',
filebrowserWindowWidth: '1000',
filebrowserWindowHeight: '700'
});
Below are the config.php in CKFinder. Listing only what i had changed in this file
$config['authentication'] = function () {
return true;
};
$config['backends'][] = array(
'name' => 'default',
'adapter' => 'local',
//'baseUrl' => '/ckfinder/userfiles/',
'baseUrl' => 'http://localhost:8080/project/cms/js/ckfinder/userfiles/',
// 'root' => '', // Can be used to explicitly set the CKFinder user files directory.
'chmodFiles' => 0777,
'chmodFolders' => 0755,
'filesystemEncoding' => 'UTF-8',
);
$config['overwriteOnUpload'] = false;
$config['checkDoubleExtension'] = true;
$config['disallowUnsafeCharacters'] = true;
$config['secureImageUploads'] = true;
$config['checkSizeAfterScaling'] = true;
$config['htmlExtensions'] = array('html', 'htm', 'xml', 'js');
$config['hideFolders'] = array('.*', 'CVS', '__thumbs');
$config['hideFiles'] = array('.*');
$config['forceAscii'] = false;
$config['xSendfile'] = false;
// https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckfinder/ckfinder3-php/configuration.html#configuration_options_debug
$config['debug'] = true;
Detail error, after debugging on
Fatal error: Uncaught CKSource\CKFinder\Exception\FolderNotFoundException: Folder not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\project\cms\js\ckfinder\core\connector\php\vendor\cksource\ckfinder\src\CKSource\CKFinder\Filesystem\Folder\WorkingFolder.php:144
These are the concerned code block from WorkingFolder.php file
// Check if resource type folder exists - if not then create it
$currentCommand = (string) $request->query->get('command');
$omitForCommands = array('Thumbnail');
// DEBUGGING the value of EACH PROPERTY
// clientCurrentFolder => /noveltech/data-content/page_assets/
// $currentCommand => QuickUpload
// $resourceTypeDirectory => images
// $this->path => images/noveltech/data-content/page_assets/
if (!in_array($currentCommand, $omitForCommands) && !empty($resourceTypeDirectory) && !$backend->hasDirectory($this->path))
{
if ($this->clientCurrentFolder === '/') {
#$backend->createDir($resourceTypeDirectory);
if (!$backend->hasDirectory($resourceTypeDirectory))
{
throw new AccessDeniedException("Couldn't create resource type directory. Please check permissions.");
}
}
else {
throw new FolderNotFoundException(); // THIS IS LINE NO. 144
}
}
My development environment is XAMPP.
Can any one please help me in integrating CKFinder?
Much Regards,
