ElFinder With CodeIgniter | Unable to connect to backend

Question

I'm having problems using for the first time ElFinder with CodeIgniter. I've followed the installation wiki but i'm getting the following error "Unable to connect to backend". Can someone help me? I'm lost.

 Here the error:
 [enter image description here][1]

 Here is an example of the code that i think is the key:

The elfinder url is: /home/optcenter/www/codeigniter/application/libraries

the upload forlder url:

home/optcenter/www/codeigniter/uploads

This is my Elfinder_lib.php file

> <?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access
> allowed');
>     
>     include_once dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'elfinder/elFinderConnector.class.php';
> include_once

> include_once
> dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'elfinder/elFinderVolumeDriver.class.php';

> dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'elfinder/elFinderVolumeLocalFileSystem.class.php';

>     class Elfinder_lib  {   public function __construct($opts)    {
>         $connector = new elFinderConnector(new elFinder($opts));
>         $connector->run();   } }

Ex_controller.php

<?php function elfinder_init() {   $this->load->helper('path');   $opts = array(
    // 'debug' => true, 
    'roots' => array(
      array( 
        'driver' => 'LocalFileSystem', 
        'path'   => set_realpath('../uploads/'), 
        'URL'    => site_url('../uploads/') . '/'
        // more elFinder options here
      ) 
    )   );   $this->load->library('elfinder_lib', $opts); }

Part of my conector.php

 *  * @param  string  $attr  attribute name (read|write|locked|hidden)
* @param  string  $path  file path relative to volume root directory started with directory separator  * @return bool|null  **/ function access($attr, $path, $data, $volume) {     return strpos(basename($path), '.') === 0       // if file/folder begins with '.' (dot)         ? !($attr
== 'read' || $attr == 'write')    // set read+write to false, other (locked+hidden) set to true         :  null;                                 // else elFinder decide it itself }


// Documentation for connector options: // https://github.com/Studio-42/elFinder/wiki/Connector-configuration-options $opts = array(    // 'debug' => true,     'roots' => array(       array(          'driver'        => 'LocalFileSystem',           // driver for accessing file system (REQUIRED)          'path'          => '../uploads/',  // path to files (REQUIRED)          'URL'           => dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) . '/../files/', // URL to files (REQUIRED)             'uploadDeny'    => array('all'),                // All Mimetypes not allowed to upload          'uploadAllow'   => array('image', 'text/plain'),// Mimetype `image` and `text/plain` allowed to upload          'uploadOrder'   => array('deny', 'allow'),      // allowed Mimetype `image` and `text/plain` only           'accessControl' => 'access'           // disable and hide dot starting files (OPTIONAL)         )   ) );

// run elFinder $connector = new elFinderConnector(new elFinder($opts)); $connector->run();

and the jQuery function that call the div container:

$(function() {
        var elf = $('#elfinder').elfinder({
            // lang: 'ru',             // language (OPTIONAL)
            url : 'elfinder/connector.php'  // connector URL (REQUIRED)
        }).elfinder('instance');          
    });

I can see that you maybe need to modify some parts if your Elfinder_lib.php is in application/libraries and all your Elfinder files to

<?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access
 allowed');

 include_once 'elfinder/elFinderConnector.class.php';
 include_once 'elfinder/elFinder.class.php';
 include_once 'elfinder/elFinderVolumeDriver.class.php';
 include_once 'elfinder/elFinderVolumeLocalFileSystem.class.php';

 class Elfinder_lib{
    public function __construct($opts){
         //for this part see the documentation
         $connector = new elFinderConnector(new elFinder($opts));
         $connector->run();   
    }
 }

in your controller.php

<?php 
 function elfinder_init(){
    $this->load->helper('path');   
    $opts = array(
                  //'debug' => true, 
                 'roots' => array(
                                  array( 
                                       'driver' => 'LocalFileSystem', 
                                       'path'   => set_realpath('./uploads/'), 
                                       'URL'    => site_url('./uploads/') . '/'
                                       //more elFinder options here
                                      ) 
                                  )
                 );

    $this->load->library('elfinder_lib', $opts);
 }

jQuery.jd

$(function() {
        var elf = $('#elfinder').elfinder({
            // lang: 'ru',             // language (OPTIONAL)
            url : 'ex_controller/elfinder_init'  // connector URL (REQUIRED)
        }).elfinder('instance');          
    });
