Drupal: Enabled FCKeditor, but it doesn't appear
I downloaded FCKeditor, unzipped it, then FTP'd the fckeditor directory into the /modules directory. Then enabled it in the Modules page and saved it. Then in the Permissions page I selected all three options in the fckeditor module section.
Then I tried creating a page and blog, but the fckeditor tools didn't appear for either of the text boxes.
What am I missing here? Thx.

Thanks for taking the time with such a detailed feedback Stephen. I'm going to work through it now and I'll post what happens. I definitely did not do everything you noted here. I installed it like a basic module. I see now that it is not. Paul

Thanks for that terrific answer. It worked. I'll have to do more work on your suggestion about modifying the config.js file. I haven't done that before, but I will likely be able to work through. Thanks again.
1. Unzip the files in the sites/all/modules directory. It should now
contain a fckeditor directory.
2. Download FCKeditor from http://www.fckeditor.net/download. Unzip the
contents of the fckeditor directory in the
sites/all/modules/fckedito
3. Enable the module as usual from Drupal's admin pages.
4. Grant permissions for use of FCKeditor in
"Administer > User Management > Permissions"
Note: to enable the file browser, read also the
"How to enable the file browser" section.
5. Under "Administer > Site configuration > FCKeditor", adjust
the fckeditor profiles. In each profile you can choose which textareas
will be replaced by FCKeditor, select default toolbar and configure
some more advanced settings.
6. For the Rich Text Editing to work you also need to configure your filters
for the users that may access Rich Text Editing.
Either grant those users Full HTML access or use the following:
7. To have a better control over line breaks, you may disable Line break converter
in the chosen filter (recommended).
8. Modify the fckeditor.config.js file to custom your needs (optional).
You may copy the needed configuration lines from the default FCKeditor
configuration settings (sites/all/modules/fckedit
the lines in fckeditor.config.js will override most settings.
In fckeditor.config.js you may define your own toolbars with selected buttons.
WARNING: clear browser's cache after you modify any of the javascript files.
If you don't do this, you may notice that browser is ignoring all your changes.
