Getting TinyMCE Tinybrowser to upload directly into CakePHP webroot

I have the Tinybrowser plugin working with TinyMCE for file uploads. Everything is working great so long as I upload into the /app/uploads/ folder. Unfortunately this means that images (etc) aren't available to display from the application front end. I haven't had any success setting up a symlink between the two locations (php symlink() fails silently) so it looks like my only option is to upload into the /app/webroot/uploads/ directory instead.

The difficulty here is that when the upload path is changed to /app/webroot/uploads/, the application goes into an infinite recursion. I guess this is to do with the .htaccess rules on /webroot/ but I have no idea how to fix it.

Any ideas what the problem might be and what I can do to fix it? Any help appreciated.

.htaccess mod_rewrite is essentially the cakephp default:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}开发者_开发技巧 !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

</FilesMatch>

I think this is only a url problem. The url for the directory /app/uploads/ is specified in the tinymce directory or in the plugin directory. You can change the url.

i got another upload plugin working in tinyMCE and the change of the url is working. I think there is no problem with the .htaccess
