    Form Maker Pro help before I throw my PC out of the Window!!

    Ok I have downloaded Formmaker pro and unzipped it. It is now sitting on my desktop glaring at me, daring me to try and use it. I have no idea what to do next I have read in other posts stuff about cmodding or something and an ftp manager (if I click on that in my cpanel it just brings up something about permissions). Please please please can someone help me and I mean in really really dumbed down terms, preferably with pictures!!!! lol!

    After you unzip it on your computer, you must:
    1. upload it on a folder on your site, preferably named "fmp". Then you must change this folder permissions to 755.
    2. Create a database, through your CP, and add a username (with relevant password) for this database.
    3. install fmp by typing "www.yoursite.com/fmp/install.php"in yout IE. From there on follow the onscreen instructions.

      Do you have to upload each file individually or is there a way you can just upload the whole folder?

      BTW Thanks for that it's awesome you put it so I could understand it, I bow before you!

        Ok I have uploaded the file to a folder named fmp. I created a database in MySQL is that correct?

        When I went to http://www.silver-maple.ca/fmp/install.php I just got a HTTP 404 error/

        What next?

          Ok, you are doing something wrong. If you wish, use my form to send me your loggin details (IP address, username and password, as well as database name, username and password, and i will take care of it for you.

              Hi there

              I am having the same problem as bitznbats. I have followed the instructions to the letter and i get the error 404 as well when I try to run install.php on my web browser. I have tried on both IE and Mozilla.

              Is/are there steps missing in the instructions?

              Help!

              Carol

                Following some instructions in other threads I have deleted fmp from public.html and re installed it. I have checked that all files and folders exist.

                Everything is there however I still can't install fmp by going to www.mydomain.com.au/fmp/install.php.

                Help!!

                  I know that you are a busy guy Naveldesign but I was wondering if you have had a chance to take a look yet?

                      Installing now. let you know. However, later in the day or tomorrow morning, there will also be a new, VERY powerful script allowing users to setup complicated forms directly in BV. You might want to take a look at it. Look for it in the Forms forum
