I am very new to Silverstripe and have just installed everything using the newest version of WAMP.
Now I try to insert uploaded images using the TinyMCE but the images don't show up in the panel on the right and I receive an error message with the content "Error getting files"

Has anybody got an idea what went wrong?

If you have firebug installed (firefox plugin) then you can look under the 'console' option in firebug and see the request which gets sent to load the images. If you click that request you can drill down into the 'Response' - this response will hopefully contain the full error message.

Now I installed Firebug and received this error message:

500//
getTransport() protot...6464321 (Zeile 658)
these() protot...6464321 (Zeile 196)
[Break on this error] function() {return new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP')},\n
protot...6464321 (Zeile 658)

But I have no clue what it means

I found out something else.

When I start phpMyAdmin...

there is a yellow i (information mark) which says:

This has maybe something to do with my problem?

ERROR [Warning]: Parameter 1 to Hierarchy::loadDescendantIDListInto() expected to be a reference, value given IN GET /admin/EditorToolbar/ImageForm? ....

I was able to fix this by just over writing files under jsparty, but now nothing is happening - seems to come back.

Any idea where this error is coming from and how to correct it?

Thank you,
Steve Nyhof

I fixed this by removing the code in the _config.php file in mysite...

//Director::set_environment_type('dev'); //for development mode

That worked... Up until yesterday when something must have changed. Made a site in the morning and all was perfect. Then 5 hours later, no matter how many sites I tried to make, I kept getting the same error as before...

HI there - was there a resolution to your issue?

I'm getting the same "Error Getting Files" message with 2.3.9.

I have tried removing the set_environment_type variable and increasing the memory_limit setting in php.ini to no effect. The site is running on PHP version 5.2.4. Any ideas?

Many thanks, Jayne
