Default Re: HTMLArea3 XTD

Did a clean web install of MamboV4[1].5.1-Stable.tar.gz, no problems. Next did admin/mambots/install of HTMLArea3_XTD_v0[1].9_for_Mambo_v4.5.1.zip , published it, then selected it as editor in admin/site/global configuration, ok so far.

Next created a user and logged in as that user and select submit news from user menu. HTMLArea3 Editor appears fine, but when I select Insert/edit image, the dialog box comes up ok, but in the panel where the image thumbnails should be displayed I get an error message:

Configuration problem: "/var/www/html/images/stories" does not exist.

This is true it doesn't. My Mambo install is not at /var/www/html but is further down eg /var/www/html/mambotest/mambo451

I repeated this install procedure several times with the same result.

The mambot install doesn't appear to have made appropriate path changes in:

/var/www/html/mambotest/mambo451/mambots/editors/htmlarea3_xtd/popups/ImageManager/config.inc.php

and

/var/www/html/mambotest/mambo451/mambots/editors/htmlarea3_xtd/popups/InsertFile/config.inc.php

I tried making sensible changes in these without success: eg changed:

$MY_DOCUMENT_ROOT = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/images/stories";
$MY_BASE_URL= '/images/stories';

to:

$MY_DOCUMENT_ROOT = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/mambotest/mambo451/images/stories";
$MY_BASE_URL= '/mambotest/mambo451/images/stories';

and changed:

$BASE_DIR = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$BASE_URL = "/";

to:

$BASE_DIR = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/mambotest/mambo451";
$BASE_URL = "/mambotest/mambo451/";

Has anyone successfully got mambo4.5.1 installed in other than the webserver docroot, and then got htmlarea3_xtd to work properly??
